Episode 5: What a Good Assessment Actually Looks Like
Manage episode 484606199 series 3665174
What does a truly good head-to-toe assessment look like in NP school—not just to pass a checkoff, but to grow your confidence and clinical judgment?
In this episode of Clinical Classmate: The NP Student Podcast, Heather breaks down what makes an assessment solid—not perfect. You’ll learn the flow of a patient-centered exam, what preceptors actually want to see, and how to shift your mindset from “I have to know everything” to “I’m learning to think like a provider.”
Heather also shares her vulnerable story from her first head-to-toe checkoff—panic and all—and why it taught her that nerves don’t mean you’re not ready. They mean you care.
Let’s get confident, not perfect.
