I have been a locum NP in AZ, NM and CA. My assignments have been one after another. I have my NP license in Florida and I want to stay here. There is a healthcare clinic on every corner. The locum companies tell me that it is tough to find locum jobs here. I have tried all the job hunting apps such as Glassdoor, indeed etc. Has anyone else had an issue in Southwest Florida? Any suggestions?

Can anyone share their experiences and thoughts about being a FNP contractor with Indian Health Services? I am presently on an assignment and I would appreciative your input.

I work as a FNP contractor and I enjoy the travel aspect. I go to areas that I may not have ever visited on my own. My kids are grown and my husband works remotely so he is able to travel with me. Things to consider: 1. We do not own a house and live in the provided housing. This requires some flexibility on how much you can own. We are minimalists so it lends itself well to this life style. 2. You work for 3 months or more at a time and then start a new assignment or extend. If you like the area it is great! If you don't like it you are there for 3 months. í ¾í´¨ 3. You can incorporate a rental car which is nice to have. If you fly across the country you may be living out of suitcases. 4. It is like starting a new job every 3 months. This takes flexibility, not belly aching about it and not being a regular team member. This sometimes makes you not feel connected. However, it also helps to avoid staying out of work personality conflicts. During every assignment you have to keep your eyes open for the next one. This takes planning ahead to prepare. Best wishes to you!

This is an older post, but I am wondering about this same topic. I am a FNP-C and would like to get my DNP just for my own personal goal. I would like an accelerated program that is from a bricks and mortar university. If anyone has a variety of options that are also reasonably priced I would really appreciate it. I also was wondering if the cost is higher for online out of state students? Thank you for your help!

I am always impressed with clinicians that ask questions rather than fearing what others think of them. You are very wise and I am sure an excellent clinician. I appreciate the tips as well.

What NP staffing agencies would any of you travelers recommend? Which ones should I avoid? Any tips you have are greatly appreciated!

Hi! I am a FNP student. Are we going to be required to get a DNP? I will graduate by the end of 2016. Will I be grandfathered in with the NP?

Has anyone else found the stats class for NP school very challenging? I have it as an online class. I'm spending countless hours on this... Any tips?

I have whittled down my FNP Onljne Program choices to Indiana State and Purdue Calumet. My only draw back with Purdue Cal is they only do full time if you begin in the Fall Semester, and I would be starting in the Spring. I would really like to go full time, and be done in 2 years. Any opinions regarding either program? Thank you!

Does anyone have any information or tips on going to FNP grad school online with Indiana State University? Please share your good and bad experiences with me. Thank you! PocoVan
