Questions about becoming an NP

Published

I have been a nurse for 6 years and have worked adult post open heart, pediatic cardiac, post partum, and NICU. All of which have been in the hospital setting. I want a change and am wondering if I get my NP either pediatric or family practice how difficult it will be for me to find a job when I am done. I think I would want to work in an office setting. I am also wondering if I will be able to have a semi-flexible schedule. I have two little girls. As well as about how much money I would be making. Any info and/or advice would be appreciated.

Hi there just as employment as an RN there are flexible jobs out there for an NP. You can work part time as an NP. I currently have 2 part time positions. The money varies from position, experience and location. Keep looking until you see something that meets your requirements. Good Luck.
