New NP starting 1st job, advice?

Published

Hi all,

I am a new FNP, I graduated back in December. In a couple of weeks, I'm starting my first job as a NP at an urgent care center. Any advice or tips for this nervous np? I have all these emotions (anxious, excited) going in my head and bc I graduated almost 8 months ago, I feel like I will be rusty in the outpt setting. I started reviewing all my books again, but there's obviously too much to look over. lol. Thanks!!

No advice, just wanted to say good luck. I think you will do fine. Act brave, no one will know the difference.

I just want to wish you good luck also. Lineartthinker has the right idea, just act confident and remember you can always check info on the computer to make sure you are doing the right thing. I graduate in December with my FNP.

Thanks so much. Just keep me in your prayers. Good luck with the new position. I did some of my clinical in an urgent care setting, and I loved it.
