Specializes in adult-gerontology.

I graduated and passed NP board as adult-gerontology NP in 2015. found my first NP position (long-term care) and worked a short period (5 month) then found it was not my fit(long time overtime work on daily basis for month, traveling, and complicated relationship) and resigned. CPT-E started but not finished. now I have trouble to find next NP job and worried about CPT-E.

Also I m concerning the employer will think I m a jumper or question about why I m leaving my first NP in short period of time from my resume and bypass me just from my resume. actually I did not think I am short attention-spine, my RN experience was in the same hospital for almost 7 years. kind of frustrated about current situation. except continue sending resume and pray, any body had similar situation or any suggestions? THANKS!!

Find a local NP organization and join it. You'll be able to network and find out a host of opportunities. In San Antonio we have SANAP.org for example. Good luck.

What is CPT-E? Sometimes jobs are not a good fit or as you found out many expect more from you then was discussed during the interview.

You could always try an agency and try a bit of locums for a bit while you find your next position.
