October 9, 2009, Newsletter Issue #17: Tips for Finding a Nurse Practitioner Program

Tip of the Week


With the aging population increasing, it’s never been a better time to become a nurse practitioner. But once you’ve decide to launch this career, you’ll need to complete a bachelor’s in nursing and earn a nurse practitioner's master’s degree. Read on to learn tips for finding a program.

Check out online directories. Companies like All Nursing Schools provide a free national directory of schools that offer nurse practitioner programs.

Contact your state nursing board. Your state nursing board is a great resource for finding nurse practitioner programs. They can provide you with a list of local programs, and verify if a program will qualify for licensure in your state.

Don’t forget to connect with a staffing firm. Once you’re close to graduation, partner with a staffing firm who specializes in nurse practitioner employment. Companies like ClinicalOne.com have relationships already established with employers, and can help you connect with jobs that aren’t available on traditional career boards.
