LTC FNP

Hi,

I am currently an FNP working in an internal medicine office part time and looking for a full time position. I'm thinking about LTC - hired by an outside company 8-5, with what seems like lots of independence and flexibility. The pay seems competitive and a nice sign on bonus. Wondering if anyone is currently working in this kind of environment and what their thoughts are? Is it truly 8-5 or is there some flexibility? During my interview the comment that was repeated a few times was it is very challenging but rewarding? Any thoughts or experiences are much appreciated!

    I have a friend who does this - in two nursing homes for approx 400 residents. Her pay is pretty low for my area approx $85k and she does take some call (not sure exact hours). I would make sure to negotiate.

    Thanks for the info. Wow that's a lot of residents to be responsible for! Do you know anything about her hours? The job is for 40 but they keep saying it is very flexible - wondering if there is an average number she works, if they are all on site at the facility and if it is more than 40?

    I know some LTC NPs and would agree with traumaRUs,that they take calls for two faculities. I am not sure about the pay though. Beside the call rotation the work hours are 8-5.
