NFP questions

DancinGal · Feb 17, 2021

Hi, I realize your post was a few months ago but I'm wondering how it went? Did you get the job? If so, do you like it? I'm currently interviewing with NFP in my area, and would love to hear how things are going for you!

Hi!

I have a second interview with Nurse Family Partnership which includes meeting the nursing team as well as a writing sample (charting after a scenario visit). I was hoping to get information and advice on what I can expect from the meeting with the nursing team as well as how to best prepare for the writing sample! This is my dream job so I don't want to mess it up!!

How did it go? I’ve been interested in the NFP program in my area for a few years but haven’t had many opportunities to apply. It seems like a nursing dream to me too.... Education, care, empowering moms.... autonomy... when you have a chance, share where what happened

Hello,

I will be working for NFP doing home visits. How do you like your role? Any tips? Do you have a heavy daily schedule?

Hi!

I worked for NFP between 2017 and 2020. I really enjoyed it but towards the end I got a bit bored especially with the virtual visits during the pandemic. However, it's super niche and the nurses I worked with had been there for years and years and they loved it. As a single mom, it was perfect fore because it was super flexible and I could schedule my own visits.

Your caseload is typically 25 clients and you have to compete max 50 visits a month. I would schedule 2 to 4 visits a day and would allow one day a week for charting. My visits were 45mn to 1.5 hours long depending where in the program they are. I would say set hard boundaries in the beginning because these girls will get attached to you and try to contact you at all hours of the day.

Hi RunbNursing,

NFP is an amazing program. If I take the job, I will be able to give back to the community. I love the autonomy, however, I am still thinking if I should proceed with the job. If you don't mind, I have a couple of questions. On average how clients do you see? What did you like the most about it and what was not so great about it? My biggest concern is if I don't have the number of clients needed for the required caseload, what happens then?
