We have an opening for a FNP in our practice. I emailed a notice about the opening to the heads of 7 FNP programs in our area, asking them to forward it to their students. That was 2 months ago. As of today we have received ONE application.
I know that at least two schools forwarded it because I received an email from the achool thanking me for the notice.
What gives? When I was a new grad I applied to EVERY job opening I was remotely qualified for, regardless of which area or specialty.
Im not looking for advice on how to recruit a new np.... The position does not need to be filled immediately. I'm just puzzled that with all these postings from desperate new grads, people would turn up their nose at an opportunity.
