Hello!
I'm currently a med-surg RN, looking to start NP school in fall of 2015.
Since I enjoy patient interaction, I would definitely be going toward the direction of patient care rather than admin or research. I also want to do some sort of specialty rather than broad and general stuff like family practice. Recently I've followed a wound care NP around for a day and I loved it! I've also always been interested in women's health (and always test really high in women's health in standardized tests).
However, I'm also concerned with the ease of finding jobs after graduation (I had some previous odd degrees that couldn't get me decent jobs and rather not go through that again). Really prefer not go through NP school just to find out my chosen specialty is competitive as heck. So... if ya'll can give me an idea of what type of NP is most needed, but are also some sort of specialty? Thanks in advance!
