FNP question

I know this question might have been asked! I'm contemplating now between FNP and AGNP because I really don't want to care for kids since all my experience has been with Adults. But because of job prospects in the future, what happens if I become a FNP but don't see kids how does the recertification process works. I live in MD, will love to get inputs. I have been accepted into a FNP program but have the option to switch to AGNP if I want to.

Thanks

    Usually a FNP can work in a AGNP position. FNP is definitely more marketable and you usually don't see a ton of kids in a primary or urgent care setting anyway. So far I'd guess 5-10% of who I see is under 13 (the age adult NP's pick up I think).

    If you can tolerate the peds semester in FNL school it'd definitely open up some extra doors for you vs AGNP I think.

    Oh and just because you're FNP you don't HAVE to see kids. Some FNP's work in cardiology and such and they sure don't see them. Besides my few weeks with a pediatrician I have yet to see anyone under 4 months old because everyone usually takes newborns to pediatricians rather than family practice people.

    anh06005 thanks for your response, I think I will stick with my original plan of FNP just to keep my options open.
