Practice Pearls: A comprehensive guide on the transition from nurse to provider

Practice Pearls was specifically written with the novel Nurse Practitioner and the Registered Nurse contemplating NP school in mind. This comprehensive guide aims to teach: how to approach the new world of provider when choosing your new workplace interest, how to avoid pitfalls of unsafe work conditions while remaining flexible, how to market yourself while maintaining realistic expectations, how to communicate with your new physician colleagues as a peer and not subordinate, how to manage your patient as a new provider safely, and most importantly how to confidently transition from the role of bedside nurse to provider. This information is necessary to maintain workplace satisfaction, happiness, and ultimate success. Two things to keep in mind, health is wealth, and without happiness, your career and hard work are null. This guide will give the novel APRN the preparation piece that is lacking in the educational institutions, but necessary for workplace happiness and lack of burnout/regret.
