Course Description
This course is designed for nursing students, new nurses, and new nurse practitioners who want to communicate with confidence, think on their feet, and connect authentically in clinical settings.
You’ll learn how to speak clearly without sounding scripted, engage patients with presence rather than performance, and protect yourself early to prevent burnout. Through short videos, written reflections, and real-world practice prompts, you’ll build practical skills you can use immediately.
Created by a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with both clinical and lived experience, this course blends professionalism, humanity, and mentorship. Whether you’re just starting out or finding your voice, you’ll learn how to show up grounded, confident, and connected — even when you don’t have all the answers.
This is about becoming the clinician you already are, not someone you think you’re supposed to be.
