You are honestly amazing. Coming from an NP of 5 years. I still have imposter syndrome. Thank you. Really have been enjoying your videos. You definitely have a gift!

Thanks so much for this….I am a new NP and I have been at my new job for one week. Even though I have been only shadowing I have been having a hard time seeing myself performing as an NP. So I really do appreciate you putting out this video!

I can’t thank you enough for these videos, Liz!! You are such a beautiful person. The information/experience you share is invaluable to us newbie NPs. You are appreciated more than you can possibly know ❤️

Thanks Liz! So thankful for all you do to help us new grad NPs.

Thank you so much for this video! It's so encouraging and completely normalizes everything I'm feeling. So glad I found your channel!

I just discovered your channel today and I love it so much. You’re so inspiring and relatable and I appreciate your honesty with addressing this topic since I feel it so strongly as I start a new job as an NP

I wish I had come across this sooner. I have been practicing for much longer and still struggle with this. This is amazing and helpful!

THANK YOU for putting yourself out there and sharing all you know with us! Your videos are helping so many people! 🥰

Wow that was a very powerful talk! I am very personal also and never thought of keeping my gifts to myself as stealing from those who need it most. But that is really true. Thank you for making this video.

Thank you for sharing and all you do for new grad NP. I really like that quote and from now one I will apply it.

Thanks so much Liz, you’ve become my role model as NP, now I’m picturing myself to be this much influential to others in few years. Your passion and honesty are deeply appreciated ❤️

You are amazing. Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone! Your words and your work make me want to keep going. Thank you.

Addendum to my comment- for what it’s worth I needed this A LOT today, I’ve been a subscriber for not even 2 hours and I’ve been so blessed by it, thank you for sharing your gifts and knowledge! 💕

Great tips. As a new NP, I'm learning to overcome this. Thank goodness for having a great mentor and other NP friends.

I just found your videos a week ago and I could just cry. I’m a new urgent care/primary care FNP, I’ve been in practice for 2 months and although I haven’t felt like I’ve been drowning just yet, I have been extremely nervous and anxious while still somehow loving what I do. It’s so comforting hearing your words of advice and I cannot wait to tackle the lab interpretation videos. Thank you for all you do!

You are one amazing person, Liz! Your smile, your personality are so charming! Thank you so much for makinh this video. I just got my first job in a primary care, and I can’t stop hating myself and thinking what did I do to myself. Watching this makes me feel little better, knowing that I am not alone and this feeling will hopefully go away one day. Thank you again!

stumbled upon this, and it is very encouraging. Thank you soo much! Starting a new job in a few days and I’m freaking out

Love that idea of an awesomeness binder! I had no idea this was an imposter syndrome existed at all I am glad to know I’m not alone, thank you so so much! 💕 This was so edifying and uplifting!

Thanks Liz. Your videos have really helped me. I'm graduating NP school in 2 months and I watch or listen to you almost daily!

Needed this!

Thank you so much for posting this video. I'm setting up clinical and already feel like an imposter. My husband runs into people in the community all the time saying how great of a nurse I am - this really boosts my confidence. I think that Focus on Service is one tip that will really help me to push through and become a great NP.

Keep making these video... they've helped me tremendously as an NP student..I have 9 months left of school and I feel this way now because it's so much information to learned..asking God to continue to guide me through this journey as I take care of his people through the gift he gave me.thank yo for being a new resource for me duringy journey..you are truly helping me and it's very appreciative.. I've watched almost all of your videos and will continue to.. I've learned so much from your expertise and experience!! ❤️❤️

This video really hits home! I’m a new grad NP and will be starting my first job in July in oncology and hematology which isn’t really my main background as a nurse but I am excited to learn so much! I definitely have thoughts how did I think I could do this? But when you said it’s courageous to actually make your dreams reality that hit me. This is my dream and it’s just so scary that it’s actually happening! But I’m excited to accomplish another challenge and better myself even more. Thank you for your videos!

I just started a new job and on Wednesday, I will see my first patient. I am nervous but ready. This was very helpful. Thanks so much.

Surviving my week 7 in PCP Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated it

I am still finishing up PRE-REQS for my BSN, but ultimately plan on getting my MSN not long after, and man the imposter syndrome is already real. Who am I to think that I have what it takes to be a provider for someone when I have never even stepped foot in a hospital or medical setting in a working capacity? I don't know who I am to feel that way, but I KNOW where I want to end up and I am doing what it takes to get there. I have been watching you videos so much lately, and can't wait to continue doing so as I go through my journey. I will definitely check back here in, oh I don't know, 7 years or so when I am a NP lol.

Thank you for being brave enough to push through your own imposter syndrome (as you mentioned) to present "Real World NP". Your energy and expertise are appreciated. Now how do I handle a 4-hour NP interview in 3 days. . . . LOL

Thanks so much for posting this very helpful video! I’m a new NP at a pain management center, and patient population here is very challenging. My practice as an RN is mainly in the ICU, and dealing with patient’s pain here I guess is easier as they are monitored, and airway is protected - but no way that I’m saying this as an advantage....Now I deal with chronically opioid dependent patients who freaks out when being told to space out their pain medicines. You offer ways to start weaning slowly - such as psychiatry - with pain related to depression or anxiety, and they think you accuse them of being crazy! Offer them weight management for their BMI of 40, as obviously a factor for their knee or back pain --- but they get offended! I thought I was speaking gently enough as I know this is a sensitive matter. I feel now of not even touching those topics again, but then it’ll make me feel negligent to just talk about opioids and other treatments without educating them of other factors affecting their pain. As I know I have to document about education, but I don’t feel right noting that I educated them when I did not because I fear of retaliation. If you have a topic about this, or maybe a speaker that speaks about their experiences as a new NP at a pain center, that’ll be very helpful! Thanks again for motivating new NPs!!!

You are so awesome!!! Thanks

Thanks for not making me feel alone 💜

Thank you 🙏

I’m doing my postgrad studies to become a NP and feel so stressed that I won’t be good enough. I’m getting As with my papers but still feel I know so little

I have this 😢
