NP in Rural America

Specialties NP

Published

I plan to live in a very rural area in the Midwest when I am finished with school. I know that I can work in offices and hospitals as an RN, but is there any opportunity in rural areas for an NP?

My dream is to have my own practice as FNP but how realistic is this? Who do I talk to for information?

They have one of the family docs, who used to work ER with them as their collaborting MD, but he's never "in house" simply available.

How much are they paying him for this service?

Don't know...but I've always wondered and while I don't know income specifics I heard from a reliable source that they both cleared 6 digits last year and the year before.

Shadowapollo, Thanks for your info. Rural North Dakota is my number one choice for NP practice. I have a question for you, though. Do you work in clinics part time because you want to teach full time or is it because it is difficult to find full time work in a clinic?

I would like to work rural dakotas or MT. I am still working my way through my accelerated RN but I have started to look at NP programs.
