Chronic Care Conversations
from Real World NP
I love caring for patients with chronic conditions now, but it wasn’t always the case. Like so many new grads, I struggled with caring for patients managing chronic conditions -- where to start, how to proceed, feeling like we weren’t making any progress towards “control” of those conditions (diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, etc). When I was a new nurse practitioner, I was incredibly focused on the diagnostic algorithms and medication management. Which, of course, is crucial to know, but isn’t truly what moves the needle in chronic conditions. In this episode, I cover: What moves the needle in chronic conditions Normalize what and why this is so hard What my dog has taught me about caring for patients (and can help you too) A practical framework for navigating the management of these conditions Read the blog post here. **PS our brand new course Managing Diabetes, Hypertension and CKD in Primary Care is available now at realworldnp.com/shop
