IdealImage = career killer?

Specialties NP

Published

I'm a new grad AGNP eager to work and love adult primary care but as a new grad am finding most doors closed to me. I have a solid opening at IdealImage but am afraid taking it will close the doors to other more technical work in a year or two should I decide to leave. The IdealImage pay is fine, schedule is fine, etc. I'm only concerned about long term impacts on my career if I decide to pursue something outside aesthetics. Thoughts?

Specializes in Outpatient Psychiatry.

You've got bills to pay and at least one mouth to feed so if that's a job you can do then do it until other opportunity comes along.

I know several NP's that worked at ideal image and after 1-2 years they left for medical specialty jobs or primary care jobs. Just take it until you find the next best thing.

Moonlight or volunteer a few hours/wk doing primary care. This would be my advice.
