As a nurse practitioner, you dedicate your days to providing exceptional care to your patients. However, the demands of charting often extend your work into evenings and weekends, disrupting your personal life and leading to burnout.

Recognizing this widespread challenge, The Nurse Practitioner Charting School has developed the STOP Charting at Home in 90 Days Program (learn more here). This comprehensive course offers precise charting and time management strategies, along with motivation and accountability, to help you reclaim your personal time and achieve a healthier work-life balance.

Challenges with Charting

This not only encroaches on personal time but also contributes to feelings of guilt, strained relationships, and professional burnout.

The “STOP Charting at Home in 90 Days” program is designed to address these issues by providing targeted solutions that enable you to complete your charting efficiently within your workday.
