AG ANP vs AGPCP vs FNP vs CRNA

[Wonka03]

Hello. Im a BSN, RN, with 4 yrs of nursing exp, (2 years of ICU experience, alongside a perdiem PACU exp as well.) After I take my CCRN this year, Im planning to go and take my MSN/DNP probably next year. Although, I'm still torn between being an NP vs Nurse Anesthetist. And if Im going as an NP, what kind of NP? (AG ANP vs AGPCP vs FNP) could you guys help me out? Im thinking about the ACNP actually, although primary care sounds interesting too. Really appreciate it guys. Thanks. 😘

Also, Im also concern about the hours, they say if you're nurse practioner, you get calls in your off from work regarding orders, while CRNAs, you just work in your assigned shift and then when you home or off, you really are off. While CRNA is where the big bucks are, while NPs, not so much of a difference from having 2 regular RN jobs (fulltime and partime or fulltime and perdiem).

I like the excitemebnt that acute care has, considering i have ICU experience, but Im also interesting doing promotion and prevention for patients. Thats why im torn between. Could you guys help me decide? My co-nurses at work say i should follow what i want, ths thing is, i dont know. Lol they say NPs have more work and stress but less money, compare to nurse anesthetist that has less stress and work (intubate, sedate, monitor), but more money.

I really wanted to decide so that i know what path i should be on. Our anesthesiologist in the same day surgery i work as a PACU on, is saying do a nurse anesthetist. But im thinking being a CRNA is being too competitive. I mean no one would hire you if you have no exp as a CRNA, fhey will be too afraid youll get the patiwnt too sedated. Lol. Although NPs have slight chamces due to doctors offices, whre they can actually practice undwr a doctor for the first few years.

Work and stress base, area base, salary base, etc. Ive been thinking about thia for approx 8 months already. I rrally need an answer to my career path so that i could go on and start qpplying for schools with the kind of masters in nursing i want. CRNA is where the big bucks are, while NPs, not so much of a difference from having 2 regular RN jobs (fulltime and partime or fulltime and perdiem).
