Continue as FNP or train in Cath lab?

I'm currently working my first year as FNP doing GI rounds. I see approximately 30-40 follow up inpatients daily and then new Consults. 8-5 Mon-Fri and every other vs every 3rd weekend rounding too (12 days straight is a norm for me). Overtime is a norm but my salary at 93k. I am beyond tired and the hours vs pay is silly ($42 hourly after overtime is figured). 

I'm seriously debating a Cath lab RN training that’s been offered. I feel like there is better pay, and marketability in it. Any thoughts?

    OK. Texas does have an oversupply. Are you in a border city where you can maybe go work in another state? I'm just doing some free-thinking here trying to come up with a solution. I would say move but I won't be that person because I know moving isn't an option for everyone.

    I think getting away practitioning all together is my wisest option

    You don't like being an NP? Don't let a bad experience push you away from it unless you truly have zero interest in being a provider anymore.

    I can’t foresee continuing to be an NP and Loathing the work this much. I usually give myself 6months to stabilize at a job before determining “like” or “dislike” -7months at this and although I m a fast as heck, itS not conducive to life.

    How much time do you spend with a follow up? at 30 pts (assuming 15 minutes for f/u and charting) that's 7.5 hours...doesn't sound very safe and I doubt that every follow up is a smooth one allowing for just 15 minutes....not even counting an initial consult!
