I am towards the end of my assignment in Jacksonville, FL and I have to say it has been amazing! Leadership at my clinic is really good. They radiate positivity, productivity, and follow through. In fact, the quarterly employee survey showed that leadership was admired at a whopping 96%. This is the highest I have ever seen within the company. From my last assignment, I have realized how important leadership is and the impact it has on the staff.
Everyone was so welcoming and excited when I started. Everything has been smooth sailing. The clinic is very organized. They are adequately staffed and everyone is willing to work and do their job. The patients are great too. They are very appreciative and friendly. They have that southern hospitality since we are pretty close to Georgia.
I literally have nothing to complain about. In fact, when we have our PCP meetings, the medical director is surprised I have no concerns, as the other PCPs do. At this point, working with this company on and off over the past 6.5 years, I have seen it all. So, when it’s this good, I will take it!
As usual, there was a new nurse practitioner that started around the same time as me, and they put me sitting by him. He is one of the friendliest people I have ever met so I have had a good experience with him. He is appreciative of all of the tips and help I have given him about transitioning into his role. He was a previous locums nurse practitioner too which is cool.
Socially, I have been able to catch up with my old college roommate, friends, and former coworker. I have always liked Jacksonville. It’s a less expensive, less diverse version of Miami. If only the beaches were nicer – haha.
Anyways, I am so glad I made the decision to come here. What a great experience. 🙂
That’s awesome! I am trying to find a FL locums position now but it’s been difficult.
Yeah Florida is a tough market to find locums positions since they have a saturated market of NPs. I will keep you posted if I hear about a need.
