Hello everyone!
As the title says, I am graduating from my Entry Level MSN-FNP program this year. Because this program does not require RN experience prior to admission, we have gone through the RN schooling during the program and took the NCLEX before moving onto the MSN-FNP portion.
With my lack of floor RN work and my worries about finding a job as an NP after graduation, I am considering applying to an new grad RN residency or a new grad RN role to hone in on my RN skills before really moving into the NP role.
I want to preface this with the fact that my school has given us the opportunity for BOTH RN and FNP clinicals throughout the program. As of right now, I am doing 3 8hour days of FNP clinicals. I think that this is an advantage in the specific program I am in as I hear of many other entry level MSN programs not offering this much clinical hours which can lead to the negative reputations of these programs.
I have a few concerns that hopefully someone can help me with:
Any sort of advice is appreciated in advance. Thank you.
