New FNP with PICU experience

Published

Hi everyone,

So I am supposed to be graduating with my FNP in September and have a couple of questions. I have been an RN for 8 years and have extensive experience as a travel nurse in float pool and Pediatric ICU specifically (floating to NICUs too etc). I did consider going for PNP or acute PNP however I wasnt sure and did not want to restrict my practice to only pediatrics just in case...however now I know I prefer pediatrics. I may be open to obtaining a post masters certificate if needed. But I have seen fnps being hired in pediatric clinics and specialties at times.

How is the pediatric NP jobs in south florida? Also does my experience help at all when trying to get a job in this niche? I appreciate it

If it matters at all...I have also done side nursing jobs in aesthetics, post and pre op, moderate sedation, infusions and recently a year and some change as a STEMI nurse in a cath lab.

I have no one to truly chat with about all of this so any input is very appreciated 🙂 TIA!!
