How to Deal with Imposter Syndrome in Job Interviews...

September 29, 2023 by Sarah Wells in nursing students, nursing, nurse practitioner, nurse, interview

By: Sarah K. Wells MSN RN CEN CNL

Imposter syndrome strikes everyone at different times. We question our worth, our skills, and sometimes, our why. 

If imposter syndrome attacks during interviews, try these tips from Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP: 

  • Recognize Your Expertise: Pause and think about what you do well. Consider making a list before your interview and reviewing it to prepare. 

  • Try to Reframe Your Thinking: Try to think, “I have strengths. I know how to ______.” Positive self-talk can help you better manage stress.

Remember That No One is Perfect: Even if you stumble, it is just one question in one interview. There will be more opportunities to shine and advance your career.

August 03, 2023 by Sarah Wells in future nurse, nurse, money, nurse practitioner

By: Sarah K. Wells MSN RN CEN CNL

To know whether you are making a fair wage as a nurse or nurse practitioner, it is important to be aware of average pay in your state. 

How do I find that out? 

Thankfully, there are companies and government agencies out there sharing this information!
