Hi everyone ! I am currently and RN looking to further my career. I have worked in a nursing home for a year and an ER for 3 years. I’m currently working full time in the PACU and perdiem in the ER. I have thought about crna before, but I feel NP is more for me. I believe I want to start applying to programs now to hopefully get into a fall program. I am unsure if I want to resume an ER positions as an NP or work alongside a hospitalist or cardiologist in the hospital. I have been to seminars before to find more information about A particular NP program but I’m still torn which route to choose. I prefer working with adults and gerontology. I don’t believe I ever want to work with children in a pediatrician office, but would need my FNP if I wanted to work in an ER setting due to having to treat children there, which I don’t mind. However the seminar had told me if I wanted to work with a cardiologist/hospitalist/intensivist I would need my acute care NP. So I am looking for suggestions and insight from people who are NPs and which route did they decide to take and which specialty are they actually working with. I want to pick the program that will be most versatile, yet train me well enough to do either of those jobs , Thank you !!
