Trying to get an idea of which specialties are very procedure heavy. I know this is variable depending on what your role in a particular group is, but I am looking for a general response. I work in the E.R. currently as an RN so I know what the E.R. NP's are doing, not much outside of this particular area though. I'm not concerned with salary or benefits, just want to get my hands dirty, thoughts? 0 Likes
BostonFNP, APRN Specializes in Adult Internal Medicine. Has 10 years experience. Oct 20, 2014 Ortho, dermatology, general surgery as well as ED/UC are probably the most procedure based NP jobs. Depending on your office, IM can have a fair amount too. Sent from my iPhone. 0 Likes
