Thank you so much for your input! It makes me feel less alone in this boat. I ended up choosing the Home Health NP job. It's been about a month so far and I love how I can make my own schedule and have some days working from home. It's a different type of stress (traffic, technology issues) than what I'd deal with in primary care, but I like low stress so far. But I feel like eventually I might want to dabble into primary care or even a specialty.. That so good you have a great orientation and supportive team! That's what makes a difference in a new role. You'll learn SO much! Good luck!

Hi there! Got an interview as a Field NP that is hybrid (remote/home visits). They accept new grads and from what I got from the recruiter, remote and field visits could vary each day. But I would be conducting preventative visits, post discharge visits, post partum visits, colorectal cancer screening, and diabetes care. Compensation 135k-145k annually (I live in California). Hours are either 4x10s (ONE Saturday per month) or 5x8 M-F. 18 days PTO with good benefits. I did ask if there was room for growth in which they said yes there would be some advancements. The only hesitance I have is that this won't be a primary care position in which I utilize the skills from nursing school and there won't be any prescribing or lab ordering/interpretation. I'm worried that this position wouldn't be beneficial for me in the future if I decide to search for an inpatient or a clinical position... Indeed job reviews also show that this job is pretty easy but can be mundane and management can be poor (taking this with a grain of salt). Honestly, I do lack experience as well. I am a direct entry RN to NP with 1.5 years of RN experience. But I don't have inpatient experience because I did not want to do bedside nursing. I was able to land a remote RN position due to covid. Now I am a FNP new grad.. part of me wants to find a primary care position or speciality to utilize and practice my skills but with the lack of experience, it's been difficult landing a job. And it doesn't help that I have imposter syndrome as well.. Anyway would accepting this position put me more behind for the future or will it still allow me to have open doors to other positions? This hybrid position sounds appealing to me because it sounds low stress, decent pay, and do-able for a new grad. Just want it benefitting my resume for the future, since I feel like my RN remote covid position wasn't much "experience" to begin with. Hopefully I was able to clear on my concerns. Thank you SO much in advance!
