Calling all Nurse Practitioner mamas! This is an episode you don't want to miss. I had the pleasure of speaking with Josie Tate. Josie is a mom, family nurse practitioner, and career mentor with a heart to see others succeed. Soon after becoming a nurse practitioner, she saw new NPs experience a disconnect between obtaining an advanced degree and embracing the role of advanced practice provider. To bridge that gap, Josie created Clincepts, a career development resource to help nurse practitioners get and stay happily hired. In this episode, Josie talks with us about mindset and how it affects the success as well as trajectory of the NP career as well as personal life. In addition, Josie talks with us about imposter syndrome and how to counteract it.
