I wish to continue on my Master's and like both Family Practice and ER, that's why I'm asking. Thanks.
I agree- If you are set on ER and have a position waiting than do the acute care or ER NP program (I guess only Houston and Loyola). But the FNP is very versatile and perhaps you could do some clinical rotations in the ER anyway since that is your area of interest.
I work with an NP who has been an ER nurse for 20 years but it is her first NP job and she is really struggling (but holding her own) without having the acute care NP background or any experience.
I think the FNP will serve you well.
