Abstract:
Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) can experience imposter syndrome (IS) at any point throughout their careers. Negative feelings resulting from IS can compromise safe and effective patient care. We suggest an alternative view to help reframe negative feelings stemming from IS and transforming the energy into the fuel needed to drive professional excellence. We offer practical strategies that APRNs can use to effectively manage IS and achieve professional success.
