FNPs! What area were you in when you were a nurse?

[whomiskim]

Hi. I have been working in med/surg for 7 years. Just started FNP. I have been doing just adults. I am not sure whethere or not I want to work in a clinic or doctor's office, or acute hospital setting. I feel like it is better to have other experience. I am thinking about doing peds.

FNPs!!!! Please share with me. What kind a nurse were you (peds/adults/meds/tele/ER/ICU...) and where do you work(clinic/office/hospital...)

I worked in the Er, PACU, but primarily in the ICU. It gave me alot of good experience, which I have learned that helped me get a job in primary care. Several docs have commented that I will be able to tell when a patient needs to be at an ER, rather than in the clinic. For the most part, they're right.
