Stress Free Psych NP

About Stress Free Psych NP

Hi there! My name is Claire and I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I created Stress Free Psych NP, an online educational resource, because I didn’t feel prepared for practice out of school. Over time, I quickly burned out with the volume and complexity of patients I saw. I needed less stress in practice and unfortunately I wasn’t the only one – NPs experience too much stress on the job and I’m on a quest for there to be many more stress free NPs! I’ve been fortunate to have had a range of clinical experiences. I’ve spent time in community mental health, private practice, addiction PHP settings, and with a tribal clinic serving an American Indian population. I received my DNP from Kent State University, MSN from Case Western Reserve University, and BA in Psychology from Washington University in St Louis. My flagship course, the Mental Disorders Crash Course, shares an organized step-by-step approach for how to diagnose & treat the most important mental disorders encountered. It's approved for 13.1 contact hours of continuing education (which includes 3.05 hours of pharmacology) by the AANP. I also offer a PMHNP Documentation Templates Bundle to create streamlined, expert psychiatric evaluation templates and follow up note templates for new and experienced psych–and family–NPs who want more clarity and efficiency in documentation.
