So before it was an FNP,
probably the thing I wanted
to know the most was,
how long is it going to take me
from feeling like I do now
to where I can go to work
and feel comfortable again,
because I've gotten very
comfortable in my job as a nurse.
00:11
And that was the thing I was
most afraid to lose was like,
I feel like I'm good at my
job, and I know what I'm doing.
00:16
And I don't want to go back to a
place of I'm starting all over,
and you will go back to that place,
but it probably only took a year,
which surprised me.
I felt like it was going to take,
you know,
it probably took two years for me
to confidently go into work
everyday as a nurse
and feel like I can do essentially
whatever comes across my plate.
00:33
And I think at the one
year mark as an NP,
I wasn't dreading going into work.
00:37
I was going and feeling like I
actually know what I'm doing.
00:40
I have confidence in this.
00:41
And so that's what
I would have wanted to know then
that it's not going to be forever
it might feel like it is
and it's hard to go
back to being new,
but it's going to take
six months to a year
and then you're going to
feel a lot better about it.

You don't have to stress as much.
