In this video, I sit down with two incredible NP colleagues and friends, Kara and Heather, for a candid conversation about the rollercoaster ride of being a nurse practitioner. We delved deep into our shared experiences, tackling everything from the highs of fulfilling our calling to the challenges that can sometimes leave our compassionate hearts feeling a bit weary. Burnout, boundary setting, and the beautiful power of teamwork — it's all on the table. 💖 Join us for a heart-to-heart chat that's raw, relatable, and peppered with a good dose of humor. Because, let's face it, sometimes laughter is the best medicine. 🌈 Whether you're a seasoned NP or just starting your journey, this episode is a virtual hug, a reminder that you're not alone. 👂 Tune in, share your thoughts, and let's keep the conversation alive. In this community, your story matters, and we’re in this together.
