Thriving in NP School: A Practical Roadmap for NP Student Success

NP school asks a lot. You’re building a clinician mindset on top of years of nursing experience, working through graduate coursework, and most likely still picking up shifts while you do it. The path is worth it, but it’s rarely straightforward.

In this free GNSA webinar, Olivia Livernois, NP Specialist at Sketchy and practicing nurse practitioner, walks through the practical strategies that help NP students stay on track from first semester through boards. Drawing on her own journey from ICU and hospice RN to NP, she covers what actually moves the needle.
