Chronic Care Visits for New Nurse Practitioners

Chronic care conditions are a big part of working in primary care, but they’re also complex, time-consuming, and stressful to treat, especially for new nurse practitioners.
So this week, we’re going to do a walkthrough of how you can conduct these visits, but in a way that that feels timely, organized, and safe!
In this video, I touch on the 4 most important steps to take in each chronic care visit:
✅ Reconciling medications
✅ Assessing the status of their condition
✅ Identifying the red flags for the most common chronic care conditions in primary care
✅ Determining the extent of specialist care
Still feeling overwhelmed by chronic care visits? I've got you covered. We have a chronic care course that helps you get oriented with the most common chronic conditions you see in primary care: diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Check it out at www.realworldn....

I am a new FNP. I pass my ANCC two weeks ago. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My love is for internal medicine, but I would like to learn more in terms of getting some experience in family or primary care. I don’t have a passion for peds it is very nerve racking with medication calculations, women’s health would be my next go to as I enjoyed my clinical in this specialty. It’s challenging finding a job without experience and I am willing to earn less to gain the experience I need. Thanks for your guidance

How do I set my day up ina systematic way?

[@RealWorldNP]

Everyone is different - I think there's a trial and error/practice that needs to happen for everyone. I tend to structure my days with coming in a bit early to look at who's on the schedule, reviewing labs/documents/phone notes/refills that need addressing, then only checking back in at lunch time and the end of the day so I can stay focused on visits/charting. For me it's about finding a rhythm, and trying to stay as focused as I can and not get pulled in a million directions (not always possible). Any other things that have helped you so far?
