Alternative career tracks for FNPs

Published

Hello everyone! I see a lot of discussion regarding working as a clinician as an FNP but not much about alternative career paths. I'm the kind of person who plans out my life 10-15 years in advance so I like to gain a broad perspective of the possibilities out there; what sort of interesting careers have you guys seen FNPs in outside of working as a provider?

Thank you!

Well if you're not in practice you won't be too connected or up to date outside of journals and CME so you won't really be an expert at anything. Perhaps academia or lobbying?

My background was hospital/healthcare administration and I see master level nurses in leadership roles in community clinics. Some chose the admin. side and one I know is great at running the clinic and also providing care on certain days.
