Hello Everyone,
New member here--sorry if this is in another thread and I will gladly go there if you direct me. I have shadowed FNPs and spoken with students in the program that I am applying to. I am only familiar with the role of an FNP in outpatient clinics and programs. I am wondering what other avenues FNPs can take that do not involve primary care.
I would like to learn about the prospects of working in a hospital. Are you an FNP that works in a hospital, or do you work with them in your hospital? What is your/their job description and why do you/they prefer it over primary care? Is this a common thing, or is there much additional training and degrees required?
I know there are numerous specialties, I am just wondering if an FNP degree can be limiting in this sense.
Thank you in advanced.
