New Nurse Practitioner Pillars of Primary Care

If you’re a new NP grad making your way into practice, I think you’ll find today’s video super helpful. (And even if you’re not a new grad, it’s still worth the watch — both to understand what we’ve been through and to help us mentor students and new grads ourselves.) In this episode, I talk about the challenges new grads face — from sneaky imposter syndrome to the overwhelming clinical knowledge demands. It can feel like an absolute rollercoaster from one moment to the next. It wasn’t until I started to mentor new grads myself that I understood what was so challenging and why. It seems obvious in one way — learning medicine is endless. But there are some other sneaky things that make it SO much more intense. If we can orient ourselves to what is actually happening, we can: ✅ Make a plan to get support ✅ Help our NP mentees and students adjust better, and ✅ Understand the role transition challenge on a high level. I truly believe we can all contribute to making this profession better and it starts on an individual then interpersonal level. Which is why in this video, I talk about the three pillars of practice that can help you: ✅ Tackle the fear of the unknown and build a foundation for continuous learning in real-world practice. ✅ Navigate the system beyond diagnosing and treating illnesses. ✅ Embrace the unexpected leadership role and the skills you need. And remember, you're not alone - we see you and we're cheering you on!
