switching from outpatient clinic to UC?

[rn3052, ASN, BSN, MSN, CNA, RN, NP]

I'm an FNP and work in an outpatient clinic m-f. It is a great place, however, I am itching to go to urgent care. One, I also like the hours,  as I feel it would be a better lifestyle balance. I have done suturing courses and I am following podcasts and Youtube for UC content. I have applied for several jobs in UC but don't hear back. As an RN I worked in med surg etc NOT in ED or CC.

So do I have a shot? What can I do to improve my chances of getting into an UC. Also I am in my late 40s and worried my age is against me going into something new??

TY!

Don’t want to discourage you but I have found most UCs want PAs and not NPs. I have 5 years primary care experience as an NP and 9 years in trauma ICU as an RN. I have applied for multiple UC jobs and have never heard a word back.  Even to job postings that were urgently hiring. If you know someone who works in UC get them to put in a word for you.
