In which APN track do you learn the most patient care? Like overall/in general?
I'll explain below.
As an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, I'm sure that they should be able to do anything that a CCU RN, ER RN, or ICU RN, is able to do right? Because they would have had experience in those roles, or at least studied those roles in Nurse Practitioner school right?
So for example, all factors considered equal, can a person with CRNA training do anything that a person with FNP training can do?
Can a person with ACNP training do anything that a person with CNS training can do?
Do any of the APN tracks "umbrella" any of the others?
All aspects of care considered (patient population, skillset, knowledge base, management, autonomy, versatility) which APN track allows you to learn "the most" ?
Hope this doesn't come across as offensive to anyone. I just want an objective answer. Trying to pick between potential careers.
