Episode 140: Get Focused
As NPs, it can be difficult to recognize the true value of our work while navigating the healthcare industry. Lisa, an FNP with a history in ER medicine and a 14-year tenure at a privately-owned women’s health clinic, is overworked, underpaid, and ready for a change. She recognizes the financial prosperity and freedom that comes with business ownership. It’s time for her to broaden her horizons and open a private practice, but she’s not sure where to start.
Here, Lisa weighs the pros and cons of various niche specialties—and determines whether it’s worth it to return to school. Justin encourages this veteran NP to leverage the skills she already has, utilizing these strengths to build a patient base and practice medicine on her own terms. He recommends a collection of Elite NP courses that can help Lisa figure out which focus areas would fit her work style best, including weight loss, functional medicine, and more.
