I'm having a tough time deciding between an FNP and a PMHNP specialization. Has anyone heard of FNPs crossing over or vice versa? I'm equally attracted to both. I'm attracted to the FNP because it offers an opportunity to do wellness counseling and health promotion, however, some of the rural areas where I hope to work also have shortages of PMHNPs (which also has counseling oppurtunities) Also any recommendations for reputable online or hybrid NP programs? My alma mater University of Illinois at Chicago does not have online options, and they're switching to a DNP model. Those with rolling admissions for this fall would be perfect, but finding that mostly the for-profit schools have that type of deadline.
