Why Inpatient?

Hospital settings offer built-in support teams, protocols, and multidisciplinary care teams.
Many inpatient roles run on shift-based schedules, such as seven on and seven off, with no after-hours calls.

Licensure and practice rules in Virginia

An NP with the equivalent of at least three years of full-time clinical experience can apply for a license designation to practice without a practice agreement.
Virginia is a Nurse Licensure Compact member. The compact covers the RN license beneath your APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Virginia.
