How to chose what NP program?

Hi! I am a fairly new RN. I graduated with my ADN May 2010. I went right back to school for my BSN, and I am going to be graduating in Dec 2011. I want to go on to get my NP, and the college I am currently going to has an accelerated BSN-MSN FNP program. My dream job would be work work in OB/GYNE, however I have not been able to find an RN position. I am currently working in Pediatrics. My question is.. if I know that I want to work in OB/GYNE, should I find a different school and go for Women's Health (my current school does not offer)? Or, do I stay at my current school and go for FNP? I am leaning toward staying at my current school due to lack of experience in OB/GYNE, and also because some of my BSN courses I can use toward my MSN there. It should take me around 3 years to complete, possibly a little less. I'm afraid that I won't be hired once I graduate. I also know that FNP is more broad, and I feel that I might have an easier time getting a position somewhere, even if it's not in OB/GYNE. Ultimately, I would love to work in Women's Health, however, I want to be employable! Another factor that has got me thinking is that my current school offers NO online classes. So, it's hard to accomodate my shcool and work schedule. I know that other schools have more online options. I really have no one to ask for opinions, so PLEASE if anyone can help me I would appreciate it!!!

I'd say stay with FNP. More opportunities in the future and you can do women's health (pap smears, birth control, etc) as a FNP. I know FNPs that have jobs at planned parenthood.
