FNP

Hey everyone. I am BSN RN. I have a one year of experience in Med surg and one year of in peds. I recently got hired in PICU. I am planning to go back for my NP. I love working in the hospital. I feel I have learned a lot and will continue to learn more. My question to you all is whether I should consider FNP or ACNP? I did my BSN online. My other concern is if that will effect my chances of getting admission in master program? Please advise

    Whether to pursue FNP or ACNP depends on which settings you want to practice as an NP. If you like primary care setting doing a lot of patient teaching and managing chronic conditions as well as treating not acute conditions, FNP is the way for you. If you prefer to work in hospital setting to do a lot of procedures like intubation or putting central line and deal with acute conditions, ACNP is your answer. For me, I like the primary care setting so I am studying in a MSN-FNP program right now.

    In other note, your acceptance to a master program has a lot of factors such as your GPA, personal statement, and years of nursing experience. Some programs weigh heavily on your GPA while other program might want to know more of your maturity as an RN. Just do an extensive research about the programs you have interests in.

    Best of luck,

    Youngman, RN
