Healthcare recruiters search credential and specialty together: “FNP primary care,” “ACNP hospitalist,” “PMHNP telehealth.” Board certification and population focus are hard filters — and your headline is the largest text under your name in the results.
“Nurse Practitioner at HealthSystem” clears no filter and names no panel. The 16 rewrites below show how NPs across primary care, acute, specialty and telehealth pack certification, setting and outcomes into the 220 characters recruiters see first.
FNP-C, ACNP, PMHNP, AGPCNP: the population certification is a pass/fail filter. It belongs in the headline, not just the licenses section.
Clinic vs. hospitalist vs. telehealth, patients per day, panel size: practice context is what a recruiter verifies first.
Full practice authority states, own panel vs. physician-supervised: naming your practice model keeps the wrong inboxes away.
FNP searches pair certification with panel size and setting.
