FNP's are you happy? I've heard such horror stories about how FNP's graduate and aren't able to find positions that pay much more than their original RN jobs (50-60K) and have to work weekends with bad benefits. I am currently in NP school, like clinical rotations but notice that it is very fast paced. However, because of all the horror stories with working with bad physicians and increase workload but less pay, I am considering changing my field of study (I am accumulating lots of loans! And it'd be good to have a job that will pay off):bluecry1:

What area do you work in and is it better than working the floor? How are your hours and benefits? Is it worth it? I'm so confused right now, don't know what to believe.

To old??? at 46? Jeezzz, that's the new 36! You're in your NP prime! Agree about allnurses, this place is addictive.
