I started out going for ANP but switched to FNP after to speaking to a few other ANPs who regretted not getting their FNP. They felt FNP gave them much better versatility in finding a position....
Wow, some people are so rude. The OP may have had a lot going on during the semester, extreme test anxiety, etc. To assume they are doing the minimum to pass is ridiculous when you have so little...
