Finding a Job as new NP graduate from online program???

Greetings everyone,

Hope the weather and summer heat are treating you all well. :woot:

So I got so stressed out after having conversations, and heard some comments from my other nurse colleagues about online FNP program that: It is a challenge to find jobs after graduating from an online NP program such as Frontier Nursing FNP program (I heard alot of good things about this program though), or any other online ones.

I thought that online program graduates should not have any difficulty finding jobs from clinic compare to major hospitals. Is it true? Any nurse recruiters, or anyone out there might have the answer for this. Please help! The reasons I choose to go for online program is because of my family situation, and work schedules. I am afraid that after 3 years of paying a fortune for tuition, and giving my best efforts and time, I will end up being jobless. :no:

Any comments, advice are welcome. Thank you for your time

Happy July 4th

I went to an online program and was offered more jobs than I could count. Most came from my clinical sites, but several came from other docs who knew I had graduated and wanted to know if I could come and work for them. Granted, we do not have any local universities in our area, so the question of "where" I went to school never came up...just that I had graduated and passed the boards. Good luck!
