I feel stuck!!

I've been a FNP for 4 years, and I've worked for 2 different organizations. I've come to realize that I no longer want to participate in hands-on care. I've felt this way as a RN, but hoped becoming a FNP would improve how I felt. I'm willing to completely leave the field of patient care, but during job searches I don't feel like I have experience to do anything but nursing. Bottom line: I feel pigeon-holed. What else can NP's do?

    Figure out why you don't like patient care.

    Research, pharmaceutical industry, informatics, teaching, etc.

    With such broad degrees (RN and FNP) I can't image that you could be pigeon holed? Unless you have a narrow field of practice? Otherwise, sky is the limit! I agree with Zenman, figure out what you don't like about patient care....and what you do, otherwise, you will end up being right where you started. Also, talk to administrators, find ones that have made similar transitions. Ask them, "what would you told yourself, xx years ago, knowing what you know now about transitioning to Administration?" Bet you will get some VERY VALUABLE information that way!
