FNP vs ACNP

Published

I really want to get my NP in adult critical care....but what I've read and heard lately seems to think that a FNP is more hireable. If I go FNP could I have options to work in ICU/critical care? I think FNP might bore me to death. Thanks for any input!!

Yes, you will be able to learn them, depending on your state of practice. I do all those things as well as central lines, minor surgeries and even PAPs and IUD placement. :)

Sounds like you will be in a small place as I am at. Rural medicine is fun and frustrating.

There is an FNP in anchorage that does colonoscopies. Does a damn fine job.
