159: First Year as an NP: Transitioning from Student to Practitioner

Have you had that "wait… I'm the provider now" moment yet? The first year as an NP is one of the biggest professional shifts you'll ever make, and it can feel both empowering and overwhelming at the same time.        In this episode, Courtney and I break down what transitioning from student to practicing NP really looks like, from orientation expectations and charting struggles to imposter syndrome and building clinical confidence. We share what's normal, what to advocate for, and how to survive that steep learning curve with safety and structure at the center.        Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://blog.npreviews.com/first-year-as-an-NP      Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/smnpreviewsofficial
