I think nursing is such a difficult job that it drives away a lot of good people, too

I was an RN for 8 years before NP. I am a new grad and start working as an NP in a couple months. I find that many NPs have never actually worked as nurses which is sad and scary, as many don't have any idea what nursing really is. I left bedside RN work because it's underpaid and nursing is miserable these days. Unsafe staffing ratios, abuse from patients and management, and patio satisfaction over safety and efficiency. Many RNs feel the same and are moving on to NP. I think the market is flooded because people are fleeing from the RN work role and we will have a severe RN shortage shortly ?

Some varied hours but good benefits package and higher pay than I asked for.

It's an family medicine position in an office where I actually used to work as an RN. ??

Central. I just was offered a great position today though. ☺️?

I am a new grad FNP in Ohio. I know RN experience doesn't really count but I have a year of SNF experience, 5 years in an office setting (ob/GYN, peds, adults/FP/IM for 3 and about 2 in an IM/FP/infectious disease, wound care setting) 1 year med surg, and a few months in a cardiac step down unit. Any advice on marketing myself to get a good position and find a job? I need income and dread the thought of going back to floor nursing after I did all this but the NP job market isn't great here. Moving isn't an easy thing we can just up and do. Thanks for any help.
