Nurse Family Partnership

I do not work for Nurse Family Partnership but am a public health nurse in a similar program with a non-profit. Just wanted to say I love my job! I can't imagine doing anything else. I love getting to know my clients and to have enough time to really teach my clients what they need to know. I have a lot of autonomy with a great team that supports me and backs me up. If you decide to go for it, I hope you love it as much as I do.

I think the caseload is 25 max. And they do 2 or 3 visits a day. I don't work directly with our program, but they meet as a group monthly and have weekly one-to-one with the supervisor. I think that there is a lot of support for the nurses.

I'm NFP in a brand new agency, so right now I spend tons of time with my coworkers (and I adore them). Max caseload is 25 clients, each visit is 1 to 1.5 hours. When we shadowed an older agency, it seemed as though their nurses did 3-4 visits per day. I love my job, and cannot say enough good things about NFP. I have truly found my dream job. I look forward to Mondays, and I miss my clients in between visits.

Even when we get busy there will still be plenty of opportunity for coworker contact. The NFP model calls for weekly one-on-one meetings with your supervisor and weekly case conferences with the whole group. We make our case conference a breakfast and try to outdo each other with what we bring. We have become a very cohesive group and also have planned girls nights!
