Advantages to being and FNP?

Money? (laughs out loud). If money is your goal, there are much easier ways to make a buck than by choosing this career! My friends who went into law or financial management for instance... this blows my mind, that direct-entry folks would choose NP for the money. Hopefully they also like patient care

If someone wants to make top dollar (>150K/yr), then they should become a CRNA. Otherwise, they'll need to own their own practice in order to make the big bucks. Either way, it's a lot of responsibility.
