So I originally applied for FNP but they've offered me a spot in the adult care/gerontology primary care np program. Did any one else get this? Any input on fnp vs acgnp?

Not yet. I am not sure I will because i really wanted to do FNP. I think with adult/gero NP there are limitations career-wise. What do you think or have you accepted?

I also really wanted to do FNP, but I don't care to work with pedi... I've researched jobs in my area and unless you want to do a urgent care clinic/pedi office, the postings are for all NPs.i am just worried like you said about the limitations and the unknown.

kcna17- what area are you in? I also dont care for peds, but I'm scared to be stuck in one area for the rest of my career. There are a few FNP's that work in my hospital and I'm not sure if i would be able to do that with AGNP especially since its not acute care AGNP. I feel like AGNP is limited to working in nursing homes and doctor's office which idk if i am ready for that coming from acute care. Its a tough choice for me.

-Proudtobeanurse: Congrats! have you always wanted to do agnp? where do you plan to work after you graduate?

Adult gerontology Primary Care Degree will allow you to treat adolescents , adults and geriatrics. The degree was changed i believed in 2013 and so it is no longer only for geriatrics. In my hospital there are many agpncp who see patients in the outpatient clinic as well as in the inpatient setting just like the FNPs, This degree is no longer only for geriatrics patients like it used to be.

if you re interested in acute like ICU or ER you may not be able to do it with this degree not even with the FNP, you would have to be specialized in acute care. But if you re interested in the outpatient setting, or in hospitals along as is not an acute floor, you should be able to do it with this degree.
