New Nurse Practitioner Visit Routines

Keeping your head on straight while juggling so many moving pieces in a typical day as a nurse practitioner is TOUGH.
I heavily rely on structure and routines to make sure I keep it all straight - and I don't miss anything!
In this video, I go over my routines with new patients, annual physicals, follow-up visits and sick visits, so you can stay on track and make sure you've got all the info you need.
PLUS: my cheat sheet I give all my students (and I used for the first year+ ... literally bringing it into my visits and checking things off as we covered them).

Really love how you share realistic examples. You're just a fast talker for a non-native speaker such as myself 😅

[@RealWorldNP]

Thanks for watching! Also for the future, you can always slow down the video by clicking settings and choosing a slower playback speed.

Thank you Nurse Liz I began watching your videos when I was a NP student and now I’m year two as a practicing Np and your videos have been very helpful. I recommend you to all the Np students who precept at my clinic

[@RealWorldNP]

Thank you so much!!

[@brookemoore2349]

I’m a new NP and have been really stressed starting out. Your videos have helped me so much! Thank you 😊

I’m in my last year of my DNP/NP program and I’m in clinical now. Your videos are AMAZING!!! THANK YOOUUU!!!

[@RealWorldNP]

Good luck!! And thank you!

[@TheXXXXOOOOO]

Liz- Your videos are amazing!! So educational and easy to follow and understand! Please keep doing what you do!! I so look forward to each video as it comes out! I have been an NP since 2015 but have been doing Home Health Assessments since that time and not really utilizing diagnosing and prescribing skills. I would like to move into primary care but I feel like I am almost a new NP given my work history... These videos are so so helpful! Thank you!

[@RealWorldNP]

😍😍😍 I'm SO glad they're helpful!! Such a kind thing to say, I really appreciate it. Come on over to primary care!! I love it )

[@paytonmcdonald4789]

Would love to see ‘how to decide when to see a patient back for follow up’. I know it’s so different for every patient but if there is a general you or your clinic use. Also just in light of this year may be interesting to add in following up via telemedicine for the things that this would be appropriate for.

[@RealWorldNP]

Thanks! We'll add to our list of requested topics. Thanks for watching!

[@claytonrogers9290]

Please make a follow up video if you haven’t already! How to decide when to see the patient back for follow up

[@RealWorldNP]

Oh great idea! I haven't done that yet. Will do!

[@claytonrogers9290]

Real World NP thanks! Is it typical for new patient visits to be a separate visit from the physical exam?

[@RealWorldNP]

@@claytonrogers9290 It really depends on your clinic policy, I see that trend a lot and I'm not sure if the rationale is because of billing purposes for the clinic or managing overwhelm for the providers, think a combination of both!

[@DabidRobinson]

Interesting...

[@RealWorldNP]

Glad you enjoyed the video David. Thanks for watching.

[@samanthawebb9621]

Hi Liz, thank you for doing this video! Your videos are super helpful. Regarding annual visits do you go through each of the patient’s problems and complete hpi or do you stick to med rec, screenings, any new problems etc.? I struggle with not staying within allotted time frame when doing annual visits for patients with multiple problems.

[@RealWorldNP]

You're welcome!! I talk more about this inside this video here, it's definitely tough!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4vRY4OFg7aEf6c
