Beardsley RN

I am in Alabama. What was the experience of going back to school like for you all versus the "boot camp" of nursing school?

Family NP is what I am being drawn to now away from the adrenaline based acute np setting (I'm a cardiac RN). The guy I run with now is great. His famous words when he goes running into an emergent situation is to "shock the s*it out of them". It never gets old. He talks about his friends who make more in a Family np clinic setting but always states it is the same ole thing. I am a family man first and foremost so the role of Family NP has my greatest intentions which is family oriented.

I am at a crossroads in the nursing world. I want to be a NP but can't decide if the hospital setting is the long term fit. I LOVE ACUTE! I have done rounds with an experienced ACNP in cardiology and loved the intense moments and the laid back ones. I want to hear from any and all experiences/life decisions/looking back would you do it again or different stories I can to help form my long term. I am 36 with 1 child and another on the way. I want to take in all I can from YOU to help solidify before I commit to a long term goal. I do know that I am going forward, I just want peer reference. Thank you all in advance.
