Hi all! Looking at areas to move in NC, we were thinking near CLT or triangle area. I am a RN w/ many years of critical care exp. at a large university medical center. I am only moving without a "locked-in" job b/c 1. I am finishing my MSN in a few months (at my current residence) 2. my husband is relocating for work prior to that...Any positive suggestions on areas that I would have the best luck finding employment as a FNP. Thanks for your kindness!

There are a lot of big hospitals in the Triangle area ( Raleigh, Durham, chapel hill). One of my friends is a nurse at Unc hospital and she recently told me they are pying signing bonuses again for experienced nurses, so it may be something to look into.

That means "family nurse practitioner" doesn't it? Is your goal to work in the office of family practice doctor?
FWIW, I think you could find work anywhere in the Triangle or Charlotte. If your husband could end up working either place, why not wait until you see where his job would take him?

I'm an NP and work for Duke. There are jobs in the Triangle area for NP's. Please review the NC Board of Nursing requirements for licensure as an NP carefully. It is quite different than what I was used to up north. You need your RN license first (which makes perfect sense) and then, you need to find an NP position with a primary supervising physician before you can be authorized to practice as an NP.

graduate, write the certification exam, pass, then find a collaborating physician; the latter 3 can occur simultaneously
