NICE TO MEET YOUI'm Liz Rohr, FNP-BC
(they/she)
I’m the primary educator and founder of Real World NP. After finally feeling competent as a nurse practitioner 3 years into practice, I was so burnout I almost left the profession altogether. I knew there was a better way to adjust to real-world practice, so started Real World NP in 2019 to help make the transition to practice easier for other new NPs— what I wish I had.
My team and I use what we've learned as nurse practitioners to help new PCPs find peace of mind through continuing education courses they trust, so they can take the best care of their patients and make the world a better place.
