New NP, DFW Texas, Job hunt

Published

Specializes in ER, ICU, PACU, hospital medicine.

Hello! I passed the ANCC AG/ACNP boards yesterday! Wohoo.

Anyways, Im moving to DFW Texas at the end of the month. My husband is already employed down there. Being a new NP grad, I feel like none of the local hospital systems are willing to give me a chance. Being new to the area, I have no "contacts".

Anyone have any recommendations? Much appreciated.

Edit to add:

Ideally, I would like to be hospital based. My RN experience is level 1 trauma/ER based. I would enjoy sticking to the ER however I would enjoy ICU work as well.

DFW seems to be a tough market depending on where exactly you are looking. The areas in and around Dallas are tough for new grads, but the outlying areas seem to have more options.

My advice is to apply to everything and anything you can! It took me about 3 months of solid job hunting to find something as a new grad. Best of luck!

Sorry for the delay. I have actually. I had an interview last week for a hospitalist position at one branch and another interview Tuesday for another hospitalist position at a second location. Im hoping for these position as they are 12 hour shifts.
