I Chose NP Locum Tenens Work to... Gain Experience in a Different Specialty


Many nurse practitioners work locum tenens jobs for a change of pace, or to gain experience in a different specialty.

Nadia S. DNP, FNP, used locum work to take on exciting new challenges.

“Although I’ll always have a heart for primary care, after several years of working in family practice, I started to feel the urge to branch out into a different area of medicine. I was ready for a change of pace and to use my hands-on procedural skills more. Thankfully, as a locum tenens provider, I have the ability to choose contracts that best fit my lifestyle and preference. So, when the opportunity came up to work in an urgent care setting, I jumped at the chance when offered the position.” – Nadia S. DNP, FNP    Read Nadia’s NP story!
