  1. Does anyone practice in a cardiology outpatient setting?

    Dumplins replied to cardsFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi! I worked with a cardiologist for about 2 years. It was my first job out of graduate school. I had Tele experience as an RN so I'm sure that helped a bit. He pretty much trained me and told me...

  6. No FNP jobs????

    Dumplins replied to morglan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree, you should definitely be reaching out directly to doctor's via email or in person. I try to search to see if the office has a website and an email address. In that, I write a nice cover...

  7. No FNP jobs????

    Dumplins replied to morglan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes I agree with the others. If you're in a very saturated area, it'll be very difficult. Where are you located? I'm in the NJ/NY area. It can get pretty competitive, but there are definitely new grad...

    Dumplins replied to hdhnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    My experience as an RN helped me land my interview for a Cardiology NP position. So I'd say it definitely helps. Especially as a new graduate, you need all the experience you could

  9. Cardiac Nurse Practitioners

    Dumplins replied to MeechiesRNBSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just started a position as a new grad FNP with a Cardiologist. I was a Telemetry Nurse for 3 years so I think that helped. Otherwise i'm sure they'd prefer an Acute Care NP. So far it has been great...

  11. HELP CHOOSING JOB OFFERS! Cardiology vs Endocrine

    Dumplins replied to Dumplins's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for all of your suggestions! Sorry I didn't get to reply to this sooner. I ended up going with the Cardiology offer because of my gut. It was more because the field of Cardiology is a lot less...

    Dumplins replied to Jackzoloe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Dumplins replied to paul3489's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  15. The lesser of 2 annoyances

    Dumplins replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would say B and continue looking while at Job B. Unless there's some sort of long term contract. Because you have a husband, it is important to take his wants/needs into consideration. If you have...

    Dumplins replied to Dumplins's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  23. I need a JOB

    Dumplins replied to RNnowFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
