MedicalRecruiting.com recruits women's health nurse practitioners (WHNPs) for OB/GYN practices, prenatal and maternal-fetal programs, reproductive health and fertility clinics, and integrated women's health services nationwide. WHNPs deliver specialized gynecologic and obstetric care that family and adult NPs aren't trained to provide — making them a focused, high-demand, and limited-supply hire. We place WHNPs on a contingency-only basis, with no fee until your candidate accepts and starts.

Women's health nurse practitioners provide well-woman exams, contraceptive management and procedures, prenatal and postpartum care, menopause management, and diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic conditions. Many perform procedures such as IUD and implant insertion, colposcopy, and endometrial biopsy. Employers require WHNP-BC certification, an unencumbered NP license, DEA registration, and — depending on the role — obstetric experience and specific procedural competencies. Some practices also consider dual-certified FNP/WHNP candidates for blended scopes.
The most placeable WHNPs combine procedural skill with the patient rapport that gynecologic and obstetric care requires. For high-risk OB and MFM settings, employers want relevant exposure to complex pregnancies; for fertility clinics, comfort with reproductive endocrinology workflows. We confirm procedural logs, obstetric vs. gynecologic focus, and certification before presenting candidates.
The WHNP credential is specialized and the certified pool is comparatively small, so demand routinely exceeds supply — especially outside major metros. Some employers try to backfill with family NPs, but the gynecologic and obstetric procedural scope often isn't there, leading to mismatches that surface only after hire.
Procedural and obstetric requirements vary widely between a well-woman clinic, a high-risk OB practice, and a fertility center, so a WHNP who's a great fit in one setting may need ramp-up in another. Add evolving reproductive-care regulations by state, and screening for the right experience becomes specialized work generic boards can't do.
Our intake defines the obstetric vs. gynecologic balance, required procedures, patient volume, supervision and collaborative-agreement requirements, and full compensation, then we work that profile against our women's health NP network and a targeted outbound search — including dual-certified FNP/WHNP candidates where a blended scope fits. You receive a curated slate within 14–21 days.
Every placement is contingency-based with a 90-day replacement guarantee, so you carry no upfront risk and can benchmark our pipeline against any incumbent firm. WHNP candidates are never charged and every search is confidential.
Not fully. Women's health NPs (WHNP-BC) are trained for gynecologic and obstetric procedures and care that family NP programs don't cover. For some roles a dual-certified FNP/WHNP works, and we screen for the exact procedural scope your practice needs.
Women's health NP recruiting is contingency-based — billed only when a placed WHNP accepts and starts, with no upfront fees and a 90-day replacement guarantee. Request a quote at /contact.
Because the certified WHNP pool is smaller, searches typically run 45–75 days, longer outside major metros or for high-risk OB and procedural-heavy roles. We provide weekly pipeline updates.
No. Our service is free and confidential for WHNPs. Candidates can browse roles, submit a confidential profile, or work directly with a recruiter at no cost.
