Honestly just looking for some encouragement from fellow new mom NPs out there or those who’ve ever gone thru this.
I’m a shy, don’t make waves kind of person so asking for anything is SO hard for me.
I’m back to work after 6 mo off PP, still using some leave time to slowly transition back, 2 days a week for a month then 3 days a week for 2 months but I can’t see how I could possibly go back full time. (It’s 15 min pts in a specialty all day kinda grind, as a new NP it’s very difficult but it’s in my dream specialty)
I know how precious this time is with my baby and I don’t want to miss anything. So far 2 days seems like a good compromise where I’m mostly home but still get to do what I worked so hard for and try to help some people.
I guess I just really need some encouragement. I’m just so anxious about how they’ll react to me asking (thanks PP anxiety 🥲)
