Hello there. I've been working as a home hospice NP for the past year and just had an interview for an inpatient palliative care NP position. I was told during the interview that this particular hospital is a real stickler about hiring NPs with hospital privileges and even though the interviewers like me, I may not get the job because I don't have hospital privileges.
How does one go about getting hospital privileges? Is the hospital being uptight about it because it would have to pay for me to get some sort of special permission? I feel very frustrated and annoyed because this is my ideal job and it's being thwarted by my lack of hospital privileges that apparently are not easy to get. I am not about to apply for an inpatient non-hospice/palliative care job at another hospital just to get hospital privileges so I suppose if I don't get this job, then that's what's going to happen.
