I recently completed MSN-FNP program at Carson Newman University on 5/9/2023. Looking for a job as a FNP in the western North Carolina area. I grew up in McDowell county and lived in Marion and Morganton for 25 years before moving to the Charlotte area. I would like to move back to the area and use my FNP degree to help my home communities.
