   Hi all, I’m an AGACNP and considering getting post grad certificate for FNP or one of the peds specialties so I can get the peds component covered. For those that have done that, did you just...

2. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

   WOW!, pretty harsh there. I never said I wouldn't move regionally and have applied for jobs in 8 states. It is not being entitled to say that the current reality over the past year in terms of NP...

3. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

   Of course I agree... being an RN in general doesn't necessarily prepare you to be an NP. I know many many RN's who would be abysmal providers no matter how much time they spent the role. It's just a...

4. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

   I would say you are oversimplifying a tad as well... not all work places are built alike nor is RN experience. New grads such as myself certainly need a lot of support and I understand that is hard to...

5. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

   I think that sounds like a great setup. I interviewed for a Pulmonary position today. It’s mostly outpatient for the first year or so and then I should start doing consult and critical care stuff a...

6. What was your first AGACNP job?

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

   Gotcha, thanks for the info, that's helpful. Just trying to figure out how to navigate all of this. I did all of my clinicals in hospital and mostly with critical care, so I really don't know what to...

7. What was your first AGACNP job?

   kdawnz posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   Hey all, curious what your first ACNP job was out of school? I am job hunting (which isn't great during this pandemic I realize), and have been told by 2 recruiters that I will almost certainly need...

8. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

   Thank you, I will try to push my concerns about duration out of my mind. I just know I would be frustrated when we would have new RNs come and we put all of his time, energy, and money in to training...

9. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

   Agree, and good luck to you too! I think I need to not get too worked up until things with Covid start to get somewhat under control... I applied for a PRN ICU RN job near me and haven’t even heard...

10. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    Thanks for the tips guys! Part 2 of my question: I’m willing to cast a wider net if need be, but I’ve typically been a person who sticks in the same place for a long time. Last job I was at for 11...

11. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

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

    Thanks for the input! ACNP residencies aren’t really a thing where I’m at in the Intermountain west. I’ll look into it though for sure and see if I can find something like that. It’s just...

12. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

    kdawnz posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I need a pep talk or moral support or something. I'm an AGACNP-BC as of December and am having a horrible time finding a job. I've been a critical care/ER nurse for 9 years, teach PALS and mock codes,...
