What does a truly good head-to-toe assessment look like in NP school—not just to pass a checkoff, but to grow your confidence and clinical judgment?

In this episode of Clinical Classmate: The NP Student Podcast, Heather breaks down what makes an assessment solid—not perfect. You’ll learn the flow of a patient-centered exam, what preceptors actually want to see, and how to shift your mindset from “I have to know everything” to “I’m learning to think like a provider.”

Heather also shares her vulnerable story from her first head-to-toe checkoff—panic and all—and why it taught her that nerves don’t mean you’re not ready. They mean you care.

Let’s get confident, not perfect.

Thanks for hanging out with me today, classmate.
