This week Joe surprised me with a new Apple Watch for my early birthday present after I murdered my last one. In today’s video I thought I would talk about how having an Apple Watch has been helpful while working as a nurse. Do you need one, what are the benefits, etc. I’ll also discuss how I use the apple watch in my current job as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Other things we will talk about this week are how to prepare for well child checks, my overwhelming day at work, and what I always send my patients home with from their primary care visit. We celebrate Avery’s birthday early with my mom, and have a fun weekend out as well. Thanks for watching!
WEEK IN THE LIFE OF AN NP
FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER VLOG
In this weeks vlog I’ll go over how I approach new patients, have the “you have diabetes” talk, how I approach having students so that they can get the most out of preceptorship, and the usual recaps. It’s also Father’s day! Which I failed at. And we experience our first major bread fail.
GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST FOR GESTATIONAL DIABETES
This week I had my glucose tolerance test, got my Tdap and had my 28 week pregnancy appointment! We will talk all about gestational diabetes and the Tdap and why you get them. I’ll also take you along with the usual work week as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Oh and there’s foot updates, and a surprise visit to the OBGYN.
TOE FIASCO
In this weeks vlog I demonstrate that I’m very pregnant. And very clumsy. When I’m not trying to break my foot, I go through my work week as usual and we discuss malpractice insurance, some of my go-to community resources for patients without insurance, and how I have the “you are going to die if you don’t change your ways” conversations with my patients. On the home front we have a super fun family day, make a sourdough starter, and pick out baby number two’s coming home outfit.
