This week we jetted off to Florida to visit Family and had a lovely Time watching Avery being cared for by people other than us. It also a magical experience because you get everywhere by golf carts and it looks like Disneyland. Basically I can’t wait to retire. We then returned to the usual work week. In the video I discuss how to handle new patients with acute complaints as an FNP as well as how I usually handle emotional patients, because you will definitely see that and its totally OK for the emotions to be all over when they see you! I also have another OB appointment and updates along the baby number two line.
WEEK IN THE LIFE OF AN NP
CME’S & CRAVINGS
This week I realized I would eventually have to re-license myself and was quite surprised when I realized just how many CME’s (continuing education credits for NP’s) that I would need! As with most things, I didn’t look ahead and am now a wee bit behind. Fortunately, I had a fairly slow day at work so I was able to chunk away at some of them while rage eating cheez its to keep the nausea away! This week is pregnancy week 9 and also supposedly the peak of emotions and nausea. Clearly, It was a fun week. Enjoy, I hope this makes you feel far more sane because clearly I am not!
Here’s the Drunk Noodles I made! I did triple the sauce like the comments recommended and used chicken instead of shrimp and bell peppers instead of tomatoes. So good!
FIRST TRIMESTER STRUGGLES
In this video I’ll show you how I’m navigating NP life with all the lovely morning sickness that comes with the first trimester. While it’s definitely easier than when I was bedside, it’s been an adjustment! I also saw quite a few challenging patients this week and am feeling more comfortable putting my foot down with them, which is kinda nice! Hope you are all having a great week!
WE HAVE SOME NEWS!
In this weeks video we share some exciting news, and I go over my usual weekly work rundowns. I also buy weird food. And Avery is cute.
