Student health nursing??

Published

Specializes in OBGYN.

First year nurse here. Currently working outpatient setting OBGYN, and love the 1-1 slower pace of clinic life. I plan on going back to graduate school for APRN within the next 2 years, possibly women's health but also interested in general/family. My goal one day is to work at a university in their health clinic as a student health provider. As an RA in college I came to love interacting and educating students one on one and with specialized programming. I think a job at a university would have great potential for positive impact on health and well being of that population.

The only problem is...how do you get that job?? Are they so scarce and all it really takes is "knowing someone"? I can look through the university HR data but there are no student health listings on most sites. Is that a job that people take and never leave?

Any helpful insight? Thanks in advance!
