You may not feel ready-but you are. Confident Transition: From Bedside to Advanced Practice Nurse is a practical and encouraging guide for nurses navigating the transition from bedside nursing into advanced practice. Drawing on real clinical experience, Deborah Miller, DNP, FNP, PMHNP, addresses the uncertainty, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and professional growth that can accompany this important career change. Readers will learn how to recognize the value of their bedside experience, strengthen clinical confidence and judgment, ask the right questions, build supportive professional relationships, and approach the advanced practice role with curiosity rather than the expectation of knowing everything. Whether you are a new nurse practitioner, preparing to enter advanced practice, or still questioning whether you are ready, this book reminds you that confidence does not have to come before the transition-it develops through it. Your bedside foundation travels with you. Your role is expanding, not starting over.
