Dec 22, '12 by NPjhQuote from ChristineNAre you working as an RN in the ER currently or have you previously? I had ER and urgent care experience as an RN, and I had an offer to work in the ER right after graduation because of this. Also, you may be able to do a certain number of your clinical hours in one of these settings, so check with your clinical instructor. You may have to set up these types of clinicals yourself, but it is worth it if this is your passion (do a little networking in your area).Honestly I am an FNP student and am wondering if I will regret doing the FNP track as my current area of interest for specialization is ER, which I do not think my FNP program will adequately prepare me for. Even though I am considering doing an ACNP certificate post-graduation, I still worry that a PA may be more competitive in the ER. -

I am looking into setting up a clinical rotation in the ER, although not sure who to contact. I guess I have some work to do...Are you working as an RN in the ER currently or have you previously?
