The Chronic Care Series Bundle for Nurse Practitioners
Make confident decisions in diabetes, hypertension, and CKD—without overwhelm.
A comprehensive chronic care training series for nurse practitioners managing diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease in primary care.
Managing chronic conditions is a core part of primary care, but chronic disease management for nurse practitioners is also one of the most intimidating.
Guidelines are long, scattered, and hard to apply in real time, especially when you’re juggling complex patients with limited visit time. You’re expected to remember algorithms, medication classes, staging criteria, titration pathways, and referral thresholds—all while trying to stay present with your patient and stay on schedule.
Most new NPs tell us they feel unsure about:
which medication to start or adjust
how to titrate safely
how often to monitor labs
how to assess whether a condition is meeting treatment goals
what to do when guidelines conflict
how to manage inherited patients with years of disease outside management goals
It’s stressful. It’s high-stakes. And it can make even strong clinicians doubt their decisions.
We created the Chronic Care Series to give you a clear, practical framework for managing diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease using step-by-step reasoning you can trust.
Each module breaks down real-world decision-making: what to start, what to adjust, what to monitor, and when to refer.
It’s the clarity you wish you had during those “what do I do next?” moments.
This isn’t an introductory overview of diabetes, hypertension, or CKD. It’s the complete primary care foundation — everything you need to manage these conditions confidently, safely, and independently. No 101 → 201 → 301 ladder. Just clear, evidence-based, guideline-aligned reasoning you can rely on every day in practice. Once you learn these frameworks, you’ll feel solid in your decision-making, whether the patient is brand new to you or has years of history.
With the Chronic Care Series, you’ll:
-
Choose medications confidently using guideline-based reasoning
-
Understand CKD staging, monitoring, and safe primary care management
-
Work up resistant hypertension and tricky diabetes cases
-
Use algorithms and workflows that streamline your visit time
-
Feel less overwhelmed and more grounded in your clinical decisions
What’s inside the Series Bundle
This series includes four courses—each designed for real-world primary care.
Inside every course, you’ll get short, focused video lessons, clear reasoning frameworks, downloadable cheat sheets and slides, and a graded quiz to earn ANCC contact hours. Modules release between January and April 2026, with immediate access as each one becomes available.
-
A practical, guideline-aligned approach to diabetes care in primary care, covering assessment and diagnosis, treatment standards, insulin and non-insulin medications, titration strategies, and management of prediabetes, hyperglycemia, and acute concerns like DKA and HHS.
-
Learn a clear, real-world framework for diagnosing and managing hypertension using current guidelines, including medication selection, medication titration, resistant and secondary hypertension workups, and how to navigate hypertensive urgency and emergency in the outpatient setting.
-
Understand kidney function with confidence through clear frameworks for GFR, creatinine, BUN, urine dipstick, urinalysis/microscopy, and microalbumin/urine protein ratios. Essential for safe CKD assessment and monitoring.
-
Understand CKD from a primary care perspective with focused guidance on assessment, diagnosis, staging, monitoring, guideline-based management, and how CKD intersects with diabetes, hypertension, AKI, and subacute kidney concerns.
Renal Labs is included because you cannot safely manage CKD without it.
If you also need support with broader lab interpretation, the Lab Interpretation Series for nurse practitioners pairs seamlessly with this bundle—especially for renal labs and metabolic trends you’ll use in chronic disease management.
Each module includes short, actionable lessons, downloadable slide decks, cheat sheets, algorithms, real-world cases, planning documents, and a graded quiz.
ANCC contact hours will be available for each module once final administrative steps are complete.
What makes this different from other lab interpretation resources
Most chronic disease resources for nurse practitioners are:
❌ Written for residents or endocrinology fellows—not NPs
❌ Too dense, too academic, or too long to apply in a 15-minute visit
❌ Scattered across textbooks, guidelines, and online articles
❌ Focused on theory instead of actionable clinical reasoning
❌ Missing the outpatient-specific nuance NPs actually need
❌ Not updated consistently or peer-reviewed by specialists
❌ Overwhelming rather than practical
The Chronic Care Series is different because it:
✔ Teaches real-world reasoning, not just guideline summaries
✔ Gives you clear, primary-care-focused algorithms
✔ Shows you exactly what to do next—step by step
✔ Includes medication pathways, monitoring intervals, and red flags
✔ Helps you understand why you’re choosing a treatment, not just what
✔ Is structured to reduce overwhelm, not add to it
✔ Is peer-reviewed by specialists and aligned with ANCC Educational Design standards
This is the resource we wish we had in school—and needed in our first jobs.
Is This For Me?
Perfect for:
🩺 New NPs developing chronic disease management skills
💼 Providers transitioning into primary care
🏥 NPs wanting to feel more confident with medication choices
👩⚕️ Experienced clinicians refreshing their reasoning and workflow
Who this is NOT for:
❌ Pediatric or OB providers
❌ Emergency, inpatient, or urgent care clinicians
❌ Providers needing deep specialty-level endocrine or renal content
❌ Clinicians looking for pathophysiology lectures rather than practical frameworks
This series is built specifically for adult outpatient primary care.
Enroll in The Chronic Care Series Bundle
The Chronic Care Series Bundle is a bundle of four focused courses. Each course can be purchased individually, but has been bundled to create the most comprehensive learning experience.
An important note to read before purchasing: There are two version of this bundle!!
We offer The Chronic Care Series Bundle AND The Chronic Care Series Bundle — Lab Interpretation Companion.
The lab interpretation companion bundle does not include Renal Laboratory Interpretation, because learners who purchase the Lab Interpretation Series already receive that module.
The lab interpretation companion bundle is only recommended if:
You already feel confident ordering and interpreting renal labs OR
You are purchasing the Lab Interpretation Series, which includes the renal labs module.
Inside the Chronic Care Series, we teach diabetes, hypertension, and CKD, assuming you already know how to interpret renal labs — because it’s a core part of safe primary care management.
If you are not confident with renal labs yet, we strongly recommend the Standard Chronic Care Bundle or pairing the Companion version with the Lab Interpretation Series.
Your learning will be smoother, and your clinical decision-making will feel much more grounded.

Why chronic disease management training matters for nurse practitioners: Primary care nurse practitioners manage diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease every day, yet most training programs don’t offer clear, structured reasoning frameworks for outpatient chronic care. Many clinicians search for chronic care courses for nurse practitioners that explain medication choices, staging, monitoring, and safe follow-up in a practical, real-world format. The Chronic Care Series provides an evidence-based, ANCC-aligned, peer-reviewed approach designed specifically for nurse practitioners in primary care.
