NPs come in please!!

Apr 13, 200719 yr

I'm looking for perpective into the daily professional lives of NPs. Any and all information welcome!! How is your work day spent/how much autonomy do you have/what area do you work in? What do you like the most about your job and the least about your job? If you could become an NP over again would you? What is the salary like in comparison to RN salary?

I've been thinking recently about applying to an NP program. A little background info: I've worked in critical care for two years (RN) and was pretty set on becoming a nurse anesthetist (am on the waiting list at one school). I've been observing the NPs who work with our ICU team and it has really caught my interest as something I might enjoy as a career. So what to do??!!

I'm really just looking for insight/advice into the roles/careers of NPs out there.

Thanks so much!
