Home Is a Privilege, Not Just a Place
After work, I see everyone rushing to go “home.”
We get home, relax, eat, and maybe share a laugh with family.
But my mind often drifts to those who have no home to return to.
The thought that each of us could be just a few paychecks away from homelessness puzzles me every time.
It’s a humbling reminder—life can change in an instant. That’s why I believe in starting that emergency fund, no matter how small. The most important step is simply to start. Let’s be grateful, stay humble, and remember those who are struggling.

NP goals this week:
Save lives, save sanity, and yes
 save some snacks for yourself.
Because you can’t run on caffeine and charting fumes alone.
Remember—patients will still need care, charting will still need to be done, but YOU also need fuel. This week, treat self-care like your most important patient. You can’t pour from an empty cup (or empty lunch bag). đŸ’Ș
What’s your go-to snack during a crazy shift?

NP Spender vs. NP Saver—The Sequel
When NP school was over, NP Spender said:
“I have suffered enough! Time to LIVE!”
She bought designer scrubs and a $400 stethoscope and also signed up for every spa membership in town.
Her motto? “Work hard, spend harder!”
NP Saver quietly said:
“I’ve also suffered
 but let me pay myself first.”
She started a savings account, made some investments, lived below her means, and packed lunch for work.
Fast forward 15 years:
NP Spender is still hustling extra shifts, fighting with her EHR, and drinking cold coffee that’s older than some of her patients.
NP Saver? She works 3 days a week, takes vacations without begging her boss, and lets compound interest do the heavy lifting.
Your scrubs don’t need to be Gucci—but your retirement plan does!
Moral of the story: Don’t let your retirement plan be ‘work until you drop.’ Save and invest early!
If future-you could talk, what money advice would they give you today?”

5 Tips for NP School Success & NP Board Exam Prep
Stay Organized: Use a planner or digital calendar to track assignments, clinical hours, and exam dates—planning reduces stress.
Know Your Guidelines: Focus on national guidelines (AANP/ANCC content) rather than just classroom notes.
Practice Clinical Reasoning: Case studies and scenario-based questions sharpen your decision-making skills for exams and real practice.
Do Daily Question Practice: Even 20–30 board-style questions a day build confidence and highlight weak areas.
Prioritize Self-Care: Burnout can derail your focus—sleep, nutrition, and mental breaks matter as much as studying.

3 Tips for Communicating with Professors During NP School
Building a good relationship with your professors can make NP school a little smoother. Here are 3 quick tips:
1. Be Professional:
Use a respectful tone in emails, and always include your full name, the name of your course, and the reason for contacting them.
2. Be Clear & Concise:
Professors are busy! Get to the point while still being polite.
3. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute:
Ask questions early about assignments, exams, or concepts you’re struggling with. Always follow the rubric!
Good communication = good impressions (and less stress)!
