WV is one of the states my husband and I are considering (eventually) moving to. Was curious if there are any WV NPs on AN and if so, how do you find the practice environment? Are there a lot of jobs for NPs in WV? I read the scope of practice regulations. The collaborating physician requirement is similar to what we are required to do here in NJ. There are a lot more restrictions on prescribing controlled substances in WV than there are in NJ. Other than that, I couldn't see a whole lot of difference between the two states, scope-of-practice-wise. Most of the jobs I have seen seem to be clustered around Morgantown. I assume that is because of the presence of WVU Healthcare.
Any insights, comments, thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
