Newborn Assessment for Nurse Practitioners

clinical topics pediatrics Nov 17, 2020

This week’s video is a type of visit that comes up constantly lately and also terrifies me #realtalk

NEWBORN VISITS. Like, freshly cooked, 3-day-old ones. ::shudder::

I actually love them, they're SO CUTE and have the sweetest little cries. But it took me a while to feel more comfortable with caring for them as a nurse practitioner.

I basically all-out panicked when I was a brand new NP when I saw them on my schedule, but with some practice and supportive resources (that I mention in this video), I've felt so much more confident with time.

Newborn Assessments in Primary Care

In this week's video, I break down the pieces of the newborn visit, what to ask & what the most important things to address are to help make sure you've got everything covered.

Newborn Visit Checklist

I've added a newborn visit checklist there that goes along with this week's video. I use it as a quick-text for my newborn babe visits.

You can find it inside the Digital NP Binder. Purchase yours here -- it's updated every 3 months with brand new content.
