Nurse Practitioner Job Blast: Cardiology Round Up
The school year is right around the corner. Classrooms here in Tennessee will be full in a matter of just two weeks. Target and Walmart are fully stocked with #2 pencils and fresh sheets of lined notebook paper. Despite the heat, kids are stocking up on jeans, boots, and jackets for fall. I have always loved the clean slate that comes with the ‘Back to School’ season. New outfits, notebooks, and the chance to press the reset button on life, are both refreshing and motivating. As an adult, there are far fewer occasions for such a feeling.
If you’re feeling stale, or unmotivated, and could use that clean slate feeling, your job may be partially to blame. If you’re a nurse practitioner looking for a fresh start in a cardiology position, we’ve got three solid opportunities that fit the bill. While all prefer experience, these employers are happy to look at new grad NPs with substantial cardiac nursing experience. Are any of these opportunities right for you?
