The Barton Locum Nurse Practitioner's Experience
Become a Locum Tenens Nurse Practitioner
Read About What Makes Being a Locum Tenens NP a Great Career Path
One of the most fascinating parts, at least in our opinion, about nurse practitioners is how many different paths they can go down at the beginning of their nursing career. You can be an RN, FNP, DNP, and so many more. But have you considered turning all of those wonderful specialized nurse paths into locum tenens careers? Being a locum is one of the reasons Feneta F.C., FNP has stayed in practice.
When we spoke to her in 2019, she told us "I think it's actually made me, probably, stay in healthcare longer. I think, if I were working full-time, I probably would've retired by now."
Her secondary reason for making the switch to locums is the flexibility that comes along with it. “I have elderly parents back home in England, and this was a good way to enjoy life and then also, to be able to go see my parents when I wanted to,” she said. A common positive attribute associated with being a locum provider is having the ability to build your schedule to meet your needs. “I love it because it does give you incredible flexibility and, for me, at this point in my life, this is very important,” she said.

Locum Hero Nurse Practitioner Testimonials
2020 Locum Hero Heather H., FNP
"My [Barton] recruiter has been an integral part in my transition from the role of nurse to family nurse practitioner. She helped me through the journey of the credentialing process, job applications, interviews, and re-location. She made sure housing and transportation details were seamlessly taken care of, which enabled me to focus on my daily work responsibilities. Most importantly, she provided encouragement and confidence in my abilities. I love working with her!"
2019 Locum Hero Whitney Holmes, CNP
"With Barton, I can get a contract in my job that I want to work three days, four days, and then I can have the rest of the week off and have my free time to explore or travel or volunteer. That is the golden piece of locum work. It’s all in the contract, and whatever you agree on, so you can fill that other side of you. Locum tenens gives me the autonomy to choose my schedule, choose where I want to be, make my own schedule, have flexibility, and make more money. I can’t imagine doing any other job, to be honest."
