FNP role in California

[JMM21]

Hello,

I have been a nurse for one year and want to go back to shcool for FNP. I work in critical care now and love it, but who knows if someday I will want to do something else...I heard that if you want to keep your options open FNP is more the way to go?? Anyway, I live in Texas now, but will be moving to California or Florida after I graduate with my masters degree. I don't see too many FNP's practicing at the hospital I work at...and was just wondering if FNP's have limited roles in hospitals in certain states? I am just curious of what my options would be in California and Florida...I want to be able to have the ablility to work in different settings...hospital, doctor's office, outpatient clinics, etc. Any insight from you FNP's in California or Florida would be GREAT and much appreciated!!
