Thanks for your reply! Currently I work acute setting in-patient as a hospital. I was thinking about FNP mainly because I wanted to be able to work outpatient in the future, too.

Hi! I recently graduated as a RN and have been working in psych for a little under a year, but I've been thinking about pursuing a NP degree. I've been considering a FNP degree, but I'm a little worried about my lack of med-surg/acute care area and how that would look when applying to FNP programs. Has anyone gone through a similar transition (from psych to non-psych NP programs), or have seen others who have? How important is getting some med-surg experience in applying for such a program? Additionally, if I also wanted to incorporate PMHNP along with/after my FNP, how feasible would this be? I would love to hear any thoughts or tips on this matter! Thanks so much in advance!
