In Episode 22 of the 4NPs Podcast we talk to Lauren Knobeloch, emergency medicine NP and creator of NPsOfInsta - a place where NPs can network and encourange one another.
Lauren has also recently published a book: "Pocket Passed: Nurse Practitioner," a book small enough to fit in your pocket that contains 1500 questions and answers NP students are sure to be asked during clinical rotations, and on the AANP/AANC Board Exams. She wrote it for NP students and new grad NPs, but it has proved to be a valuable resource for experienced NPs as well!
We also spoke to Lauren about her journey through nursing, the importance of nurses supporting eachother, and how she has been an amazing advocate for her daughter. Listen now to learn more!
