such good advice. thank you! i think i "know" i need to get my fnp instead of whnp I just am not there yet in my heart.

Hi- So I have only worked in labor and delivery--10 years and I absolutely know that my niche is working with women. I finally decided it was the right time to go back to school. I can only see myself ever wanting to work with women in a clinical setting therefore I was going to get my WHNP. However, my mentor, a CNM has been telling me that I REALLY REALLY should get my fnp instead b/c I would be more marketable and I could still get a job in women's health. Now I am so so confused. If I know I only want to work with women why waste more time and money getting my FNP. Then again, 15 years from now I might want to switch fields. Then again, if I haven't used the FNP knowledge for 15 years, I surely would have lost it. Any advice???? Anyone find that a MSN/WHNP is a hard degree to use and to get a job with??
