Hey fellow burned-out nurse practitioner!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Erica D the NP. I am a family nurse practitioner, wife, and mom of two! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to take a minute to introduce The Nurse Practitioner Charting School <\/a>and explain the benefits for ALL Nurse Practitioners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the story of why I created The Nurse Practitioner Charting School….<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After overcoming burnout myself, I created The Burned-out Nurse Practitioner<\/strong><\/u><\/a> to help overwhelmed nurse practitioners, create work-life balance, conquer burnout, and advocate for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more I coached APRNs through their burnout, the more I realized…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charting was the #1 cause of nurse practitioner burnout<\/strong>!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nurse practitioners, in many different specialties, are going into work early, staying late at the office, and <\/strong><\/em>bringing charts home. This extra, unpaid time is creating a disproportionate work-life balance. (Raise your hand if you agree!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many nurse practitioners are spending 10-15 hours (in addition to a demanding 40 hour work week) just trying to catch up with the charting. And the problem is, the work is never ending<\/strong><\/em>. Nurse practitioners are pushed to see more patients, sicker patients, managing to \u201cother ” nurse practitioner tasks (setting up referrals, prior authorizations, responding to patient messages, etc.), and adhering to a non supportive management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no wonder nurse practitioners are burned-out!!<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I took some time to reflect on my own experiences with charting. I realized I only had one 45 minute lesson on charting in nurse practitioner school. We did not receive much education on how to <\/strong>actually <\/em><\/strong>create a chart note, what components to add, and how to properly bill and code.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my clinical rotations, I was fortunate enough to have electronic medical record access to practice documentation, but I know many other students did not. I felt like I received very little feedback<\/strong> from my instructors or preceptors. As far as charting, I felt ill prepared coming out of my Masters of Science in Nursing program, and I know many nurse practitioners feel the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I started in my role as a family nurse practitioner in a primary care clinic, I did not receive the adequate training or feedback<\/strong>. I knew very little about choosing the correct Evaluation and Management level. I wasn\u2019t exactly sure what components needed to go into a chart note. I did not know any charting shortcuts or time management tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was overwhelmed <\/strong><\/em>with charting (on top of the feelings of imposter syndrome<\/strong><\/u><\/a> and stress as a new grad nurse practitioner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided I needed to educate myself on charting as a nurse practitioner<\/strong>. I spent extra time learning how to chart accurately and efficiently. I implemented time management and charting shortcuts to avoid staying late at the office. I learned the components needed to choose the correct Evaluation and Management code for patient visits. I studied about malpractice cases and how my documentation can prevent a negative outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have found many nurse practitioners struggle with the same issues I had with charting!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why I created The Nurse Practitioner Charting School<\/strong><\/u><\/a>,<\/strong> to be the one stop for all <\/em>documentation resources made specifically for nurse practitioners<\/em>.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I offer free charting tips on The Nurse Practitioner Charting School\u2019s blog page<\/strong><\/u><\/a>!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
