Hey guys! Welcome to this weeks vlog! Iām about 4 weeks into being an FNP and man am I really ready to be more efficient at work. The whole transition from expert to novice Is starting to get to me, which Iāll discuss a bit in the video. This week the whole family was in a bit of a funk, which we will discuss a bit, and Iāll explain what I usually do in order to help get out of weird moods. Other things I did this week: worked more independently at work, applied for my NPI number, and shared some recipes! Hope you all had a great first week back to school if you were starting back up again!
WEEK IN THE LIFE OF AN NP
MODEL HOMES & AFTERNOON ALONE AT CLINIC
This week we looked at some model homes in our new city! And boy were we in for a shock when we realized we canāt afford to live..anywhere! haha. Iāll go on one of my usual tangents about that, and talk about how Iām coming to realize whatās really important in our life. This week also brought my first independent afternoon in the clinic! It was a good learning experience, but I definitely still need my training wheels before flying solo.
ORGANIZING NEW JOB INFO
New jobs come with a TON of new information. In this video I will show you how I am organizing all the new information I am encountering as a Family Nurse Practitioner, so I can easily reference it later and have it around as long as need be! This method of organization would work for any type of career, academic journey, or just as way to organize reminders for you life! I am honestly quite upset I didnāt think of this until now. I could have saved so much time in NP school not looking things up twice! Ugh! Oh well.
This week was also a bit of a hot mess. While I am getting more organized at work, Iām falling apart at home. Check out the video to feel like youāve got your life together!
LEARNING CURVE
The learning curve as a new Family Nurse Practitioner is crazy! I was really feeling it this week now that the ānew jobā warm and fuzzy feelings have worn off.
As a distraction from the stress I am trying out new sunglasses! Because there is a TON of sun in North Carolina, who knew. Make sure to vote for your favorite ones!

In this video I will also share what new method I have come up with to organize the topics I encounter in clinic that I am unfamiliar with. I think they could be incredibly helpful for students and professionals, of all kinds really! Let me know what you think!
