1. Shadowing for np job

   MommaFNP2012 replied to pedspnp's topic in NP

   I agree with the others. I shadowed a prospective employer at their request and was so glad I did. By lunch time, I realized the fit was all wrong for me and, courteously, I left by noon. No guilt on myself nor the employer.

2. Interview

   MommaFNP2012 replied to pedspnp's topic in NP

   Did you ask to meet them? Perhaps they're away for some reason. I had the quickest interview with my physician as he was heading out the door for a vacation. I was pretty much hired by the other staff and the CNO.

3. Disappointment trying not to be discouraged (very long post)

   MommaFNP2012 replied to jaznia15's topic in NP

   I always based any offer I got as an NP on what I was making as an RN. I had no problem telling a prospective employer when salary was addressed, what I expected in compensation. After 3 job offers, I realized none offered what I wanted in salary n...

4. Anxiety over in-person job interview

   MommaFNP2012 replied to mountainaireNP's topic in NP

   I agree with the others! I too was flown out to a job and they told me "they'd be in touch". A few days later they called and offered me the job. I'm actually packing up now to start on the 10th. Hang in there! I too graduated a little over a year ag...

6. Where are all those desperate new grads?

   MommaFNP2012 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in NP

   After searching for almost a year and a half and not being satisfied with job market here in Florida, I just accepted my first job in New Hampshire. My whole family is relocating, and I'm super excited and nervous, but I know this is the perfect job ...

7. Can't Keep Looking at the Bright Side (I just want to cry)

   MommaFNP2012 replied to mountainaireNP's topic in NP

   First off, I'm so sorry. Huge hugs to you! I've been out of school for over a year now with no job. My situation is a tad different than yours as I did have a couple of offers during that time but the benefits and salary were so pathetic that I just ...

8. Second Interview Requested

   MommaFNP2012 replied to reddgirl's topic in NP

   Hi Reddgirl, Congratulations on getting your second interview. I am on the same boat as you (no job and one year since graduation). I haven't found the right job either. I guess after 16 years as an RN, I am sitting pretty comfortably job wise and fi...

9. The Florida job market cannot be this bad?!

   MommaFNP2012 replied to reddgirl's topic in NP

   Reddgirl, I too have been out of school for a year with no job (I live in Florida as well). I had one job offer post boards but the pay and benefits didn't even come close to my current job as an RN so I had to turn the job down. I've all but given u...
