APNs: Post your specialty

I'm an adult health CNS and a peds CNS (don't take the educational route I took - lol).

I work in a large nephrology practice rounding on dialysis pts. I have also worked PT in an ER.

I'm a PMHNP and I work locums. This means I'm a migrant worker which is great because I don't have to deal with the politics of a workplace plus I get a corporate apartment, license and DEA costs taken care of, and either a car or $30 a day if I use my own car. I get to move around and check out different areas of the states and maybe will find an area where I'd like to settle down.

I currently work in a detention center. I get to "preview" my patients on the TV news, then see them in person in their new outfits and chain jewelry!

I'm certified as a family nurse practitioner, but work in emergency medicine. My background was in emergency nursing, so I started working as an NP where I worked as a nurse..Even though I work in a rural area, our ER sees over 40k patients a year. As we are one of the very few hospitals in the area with mental health facilities, I also get to assess and begin treatment for psychiatric patients. Although I find this area of practice interesting, I do not think I'd want to be a psych mental health NP. I like the FNP role, because you can see all age groups with a wide variety of problems and it allows me to work in ER, which is my passion.

I started off as a trauma junkie in a Level I center, but now find psych more challenging and if it's a patient where nothing has ever worked before I'm like a dog on a fresh soup bone! I considered FNP but if I never hear a parent hold up their kid and go, "goo goo" again I'll be a happy man, lol!

I'm an FNP doing adult primary care in an urban community health center. I work with a very challenging population and an even more challenging administration. Pay isn't the greatest, but I had most of my student loans forgiven in exchange for 2 years of service.
