Karen Yeboah-Norment is a Dual Board-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Karen obtained her BSN degree from Duquesne University in 2011, MSN degree in Family Nurse Practitioner at The College of New Jersey in 2016 and her Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Certification from Wilkes University in 2021.

 

Working in the healthcare field for the past twelve years has increased Karen’s patient care confidence and experience. Karen’s nurse practitioner experience includes working in a retail clinic, primary care, home care, doing telemedicine psychiatry, and performing Veteran disability exams. Karen has taught clinical to LPN students at Lincoln Technical Institute and was awarded NP Charter of the Year in 2017.

 

Karen created these courses/webinar to improve the confidence for student nurse practitioners starting clinical rotations, and for novice and experienced nurse practitioners entering practice, as nurse practitioners are expected to be competent immediately after orientation, and receive no or little training when they start practicing.

 

In addition, Karen would like to provide mentorship through these courses/webinar because she always has been passionate in helping the future generation of nurse practitioners become their best potential of themselves.  Karen has remained knowledgeable about topics in healthcare by attending nurse practitioner education conferences at NPACE, Monmouth University, Practicing Clinicians Exchange, Psych Congress and Postpartum Support International.
