A few years ago I attempted to move to Jacksonville, FL where I was told I needed my BSN and there was no grace period. I graduate next month and for the past year have considered AGACNP since I always want to work in a hospital. Because I live in NC I am unfamiliar with the need for NPs in the hospital setting in Florida but specifically Jacksonville. I have been unsuccessful at getting into contact with some of the local hospital HR departments and was hoping some of you might have some advice or insight. The AGACNP school I want to attend is 150k after adding expenses from not working during the program. I'm concerned that the only jobs that will be available are clinics/ urgent care or day time and as a nights and weekends ICU RN that may not be worth the cost of school compared to what I make now since it'll take about 13 years to break even.
