RN jobs that prepare you for primary care

Hi all.

I just started my MSN-FNP program while working in acute care (Oncology/Medical). When I graduate, I want to work in primary care.

I've been and RN for 1.5 years, all in acute care. Great experience, but I am considering staying in the hospital setting for another 0.5 - 1 years and then switching to a job that would give me more exposure and preparation for work in primary care.

I wanted to ask for ideas for such jobs. Seems like RNs in doctors' offices take on almost a more administrative role with not too much clinical skills involved, at least in my observation. Are there any jobs where you can be clinically active and get good exposure and learning in primary care? Someone mentioned their work in a community center...Anything else?

Thanks in advance.
