throw new TypeError('2nd argument to `Model` must be a POJO or string, ' +

i just created my node js server and when i specified the schema and model and added it ins the main server file it is showing following error:

E:\py\.vscode\mern stack\backend\node_modules\mongoose\lib\model.js:115
    throw new TypeError('2nd argument to `Model` must be a POJO or string, ' +
    ^

TypeError: 2nd argument to `Model` must be a POJO or string, **not** a schema. Make sure you're calling `mongoose.model()`, not `mongoose.Model()`.

and the code of schema and model is as given below:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    name: String,
    email: String,
    password: String
})
module.exports = mongoose.Model('USER', userSchema);
