Navigating The Drama Triangle As An NP
2024/02/06
In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Brooke Nielsen to explore a topic that is both fascinating and incredibly relevant to our work as healthcare professionals—the Drama Triangle. We've all seen it, whether we recognized it at the time or not. Those moments when interactions with colleagues or patients suddenly feel like a scene straight out of a play, with clear roles of victim, rescuer, and persecutor taking shape. Brooke and I explored how these roles influence our work environment, especially for nurse practitioners. We shared stories, insights, and, most importantly, practical strategies for stepping out of these roles. The goal? To foster a more supportive, healthy work environment where we can all thrive, professionally and personally. Understanding the Drama Triangle isn't just academic; it's about making real changes in how we interact every day. From recognizing when we're slipping into one of these roles to setting boundaries that protect our well-being and the quality of care we provide, this conversation is a stepping stone to more effective, fulfilling professional relationships. Tune in to find out how you can start recognizing and changing these dynamics in your own clinical setting. It's an episode packed with insights for nurse practitioners and anyone keen on creating a healthier workplace culture. In today’s episode, we talk about: Understanding the Drama TriangleImpact of the Drama Triangle in clinical settingsStrategies for recognizing and changing dysfunctional dynamicsThe importance of boundary management for healthcare professionals Read the blog post here. _______________________________ © 2023 Real World NP.

New Nurse Practitioner Pillars of Primary Care
2023/11/14
If you’re a new NP grad making your way into practice, I think you’ll find today’s video super helpful. (And even if you’re not a new grad, it’s still worth the watch — both to understand what we’ve been through and to help us mentor students and new grads ourselves.) In this episode, I talk about the challenges new grads face — from sneaky imposter syndrome to the overwhelming clinical knowledge demands. It can feel like an absolute rollercoaster from one moment to the next. It wasn’t until I started to mentor new grads myself that I understood what was so challenging and why. It seems obvious in one way — learning medicine is endless. But there are some other sneaky things that make it SO much more intense. If we can orient ourselves to what is actually happening, we can: Make a plan to get supportHelp our NP mentees and students adjust better, andUnderstand the role transition challenge on a high level. I truly believe we can all contribute to making this profession better and it starts on an individual then interpersonal level. Which is why in this video, I talk about the three pillars of practice that can help you: Tackle the fear of the unknown and build a foundation for continuous learning in real-world practice.Navigate the system beyond diagnosing and treating illnesses.Embrace the unexpected leadership role and the skills you need. And remember, you're not alone - we see you and we're cheering you on!
