NFLP

Has anyone done the NFLP (Nurse Faculty Loan Program)? Is it hard to get a job as a nurse educator as a new grad DNP-FNP student? (I go to the #1 school in the state, I figure that this matters over an all online school that is less recognized).

Yes I have had my PhD loans forgiven via the NFLP.  I had a faculty job before taking the loans, so my situation is different than yours.

Nurse Educators are in demand but your background and education has to fit with the program needs and type of academic setting.  For example, if you want to teach ADN level at a community college and have solid acute care experience, the job search will be fairly easy.  I can't determine from your online information if the 1 year experience is as an FNP or as an RN.  If the latter, then the search for a faculty position will be very difficult. 

A new grad DNP-FNP would not be hired to teach FNP students without at least 2 years of FNP experience (full-time).  Schools are looking to match your clinical expertise with the courses in their curriculum.  Also, the academic positions at BSN or higher programs will likely involve scholarship (research/EBP, presenting at conferences, and publishing).  If you have not done this, it may be difficult to be hired.  So, my advice is to be sure that you take your DNP project all the way through the dissemination phase and present the work at a conference and work with your faculty to get the project into a journal morificecript to submit.
