NP job market/job availability

Specialties NP

Published

I posted a similar thread a few weeks ago, but I would like more generalized information about the job market for nurse practitioners. Ideally, I'd like to work solo or with a group of other nurse practitioners in a rural area. I'd also like to take call in a small hospital ER, also preferably in a rural location. Do any of you know what the job market is like for this type of thing? Specifically in Illinois (southern). I have less than two years left in my BSN program, and I'm planning on waiting a year or two to save some money, then going directly into a MSN program. But before I commit my time and resources to that, I just want to make sure that I'll have a good chance of getting a job afterwords.

Any ideas about the market? Or who I might be able to talk to to find out?

Thanks in advance!

Hello again, EdBSN09,

Here is the link to your first thread about the same discussion:

I have no info regarding your state. You could ask other NPs in your area and/or medical directors of the local clinics/hospitals.
