Post Acute/LTC NP Positions

[TeleRN2010, ADN, BSN, MSN]

For those of you who work for a acute rehabilitation hospital, post acute rehab facility, or long term care as a NP, will you please state how you obtained your position and your suggestions for others who want to work in those types of facilities? I've been in nursing for over 10 years, working in hospitals in telemetry, ICU, med/surg, & case management. I recently passed my FNP boards and now am licensed in one state and pending licensing in another. I would like to work in the post acute or LTC setting as a new NP and would love to know if there are better ways to look for jobs, other than job boards. The NP jobs are not listed on the facility sites, only nursing and other positions. Job boards like Indeed and others have hundreds of applicants when something is posted. I would love insight into going around that. Thank you!

I would recommend getting a LinkedIn account and searching "geriatric NP" or the like.  It is often not the facility that hires providers, rather medical groups contract with facilities.  Good luck!
