So I know there are many threads on this already, but I have a predicament. I was recently accepted into Villanova's AGNP program. When I first started my graduate applications I thought that was the program I wanted to be in. I currently work as an Occ Health RN, and before that I was in the Surgical/Trauma ICU. After stalking allnurses and speaking to other grad students, it seems like everyone is saying go the FNP route so you are more marketable. I do want to get a job when all is said and done. I don't plan on working with children, but it seems more and more employers want FNP vs AGNP.
I emailed the admissions director about switching tracks. She emailed me back and wants to talk to me about my reasons why. She doesn't think "being more marketable" is a good reason. Frankly, I don't either, but I also don't want to be looking for a job 1 year after graduation because I chose the wrong track.
