LDRP vs Pediatrics growth opportunities?

[EliApril]

I have just started exploring potential specialties, and I am trying to figure out my focus and how to best manage my interests and goals... I am basically considering getting an advanced degree (MSN) to work eventually as either a LDRP, Neonatal or Pediatric nurse. I am now looking at ANP option and trying to understand how it is different from CNS. Anyways, I enjoy working with kids, but I have also considered getting a Counseling Psychology degree to work with new moms suffering from PPD/PPA and adjustment issues etc. I am also interested in parenting education. Finally, my other "click" is with cognitive development in childhood. Which path do you believe would provide more flexibility/opportunities to somehow include my interests at some point? Am I correct in assuming that CNM or Pediatric ANP are my best ultimate bets? I'd be grateful if you could unveil a little the realities of either of occupations...
