Nurse Nat, PNP
Your Go-To For All Things Pediatric NP, Pediatric Nursing, and Student.
Hi friend, I'm Nurse Nat.
Becoming a nurse, and now a pediatric nurse practitioner is the best and hardest thing I ever did, and I want to help you through it!
I share resources and strategies to help nurses and PNPs reach their greatest potential. Here's how I survived nursing school, became a PICU nurse, started travel nursing, became an NP and so much more!
