How about locums to permanent. Call staff care, Barton, and others and ask to speak to a recruiter. My guess is that you need to pass your boards and be licensed or licensed eligible in MN to be taken seriously. And I would think a local address will help too especially for permanent jobs. Best wishes
get a test date that you could incorporate into your cover letter.
and get a local phone number for the area of MT you're moving to, i.e. a cell phone. that way they won't screen you out with a GA number.
for example, when I hired people for meager clerical positions that didn't pay much I didn't invite out of region area codes to interview. what are the odds someone wanted to move to the South from Buffalo, NY for example to take a $9/hr data entry job.
Actually, the majority staying have jobs (the ones who actively sought jobs). I have had offers here at two places where I have done clinicals. I know that there are some bickering back and forth between MSN and DNP Practitioners but it all seems silly to me. I personally cannot stand NPs or any non MD who introduces themselves as Dr whatever - it confuses patients and it is just nonsense. Where I work we have PTs and ST all insisting everyone address them as Dr. I may need to seek treatment for all the intense eye rolling I have experienced.
I disagree...
even rung up the ladder you go demonstrates an investment you have made in both your career and education. An RN with BSN should be paid more than an ADN. An RN with MSN again should make more than a BSN. A DNP holds a higher level of education than an MSN and has a right to expect to be paid in accordance. I am not talking large amounts here, but there is a difference.
The laws of capitalism disagree. Only degrees that add marketable value will command a higher salary. The DNP does not.
also nobody cares about the right to be paid more. Why don't you go tell your employer about that right. I'm sure they want a good laugh.
Playing the I have a right game is like a child shouting that something isn't fair.
Yeah. Life isn't fair. DNP is not marketable. Two facts that when taken into consideration will lead to a better life.
They still won't get paid more, just more required education if it actually does go through for the same job. The colleges make more money though at least, so thats a plus for them, but not for us regular people.
I looked through the DNP curriculum, didn't look like it would help much, also talked to those who made the mistake to go through with it, they all regret it... all those lost hours and tuition dollars they have to fork out.

How long did it take to land your 1st NP job? Were there multiple offers? How much did negotiation improve the offer?
I am about to be a new NP and take my boards. I am in Georgia and moving to MN. I have been applying for positions in MN for a few months and even thought he recruiters tell me they are desperate for NPs I have yet to field a single interview. I do have a pretty decent collection of form rejection letters. All the while the positions remain open.
Sure, I am a billion miles away and no I have yet to sit for my boards - but not a single interview. Heck, I have had three offers here in GA.
Matters not as I am still moving and will be forced to take a position as an RN and hope that one day I can land an NP position or at least an interview. I would hate to think I have spent all this money and time earning a DNP and never get to use the dang thing.
