Most jobs I hear about come from other NP's who know of docs looking for an NP. Another great place is your local NP association. Go to their meetings or dinners and ask around. I heard of three jobs at the last one I was at (in Texas). Good luck. ...
Trained as an adult np, I did not receive any hospitilized patient care training. I only received primary care training -- in didactic and clinical preparation. The MD I'm working for now wants me to do rounds and take call for hospitilized patients ...
