In this weeks vlog I’ll take you with me as I do my second weekend solo as the only provider at the office, explore its my family, navigate a bunch of new patients, talk a bit about how I tell patients they are pregnant, and get into some honest talk about feeling a bit burnt out as a family nurse practitioner and annoyed with the healthcare system in general. As always I try to keep it real with you guys. I still love my job, it was just a bit of a rough week. Next week will be better!

FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER DAY IN THE LIFE
Come To Work With Me. In today’s video I take you with me for a day in the life of a primary care provider! I’ll walk you through what my day to day looks like as a Family Nurse Practitioner, what tasks I complete behind the scenes, give you a tour of my office, and provide some tips for getting through your day without getting too behind.
WE PAID OFF ONE STUDENT LOAN!
This week we paid off a nursing school student loan, Avery discovered she is passionate about Easter egg hunts, I take you on a tour of my office at work, and I have my first solo Saturday at work as a Family Nurse Practitioner. It was a wild week! But a fun one. In it I shared some of how we are tackling our combined student loans, and how we plan to pay them off. Let me know if you want a whole video dedicated to that!
BEDSIDE NURSE VS FNP
One of the questions I get asked most frequently is “do you miss being a bedside nurse?”. And the answer is yes! There are absolutely things I miss about being a bedside nurse, and some things I definitely don’t miss. In today’s video I’ll talk about which I like better, my role as a Family Nurse Practitioner or a bedside nurse. I’ll discuss what I miss about being a nurse on an inpatient unit, what I don’t miss about that, and some things I am loving about NP life.
