I just relocated to central Florida due to my husband's military assignment right after taking my boards going on 2 months ago. That's is the case there were more than enough positions listed for RN but there were many listing for NPs as well. When i first began applying i was being offered interviews in other states mostly rural areas. So i know the jobs are out there for both, some places are just saturated and it's takes a little more effort. I know the minute clinics ,urgent care clinics they prefer FNP be of the wide range you are able to see.

I am an ANP/AGNP. There is certainly increased scope with the FNP. I think the question is will you be limited in job opportunities with pursuing the AGNP and the answer to this is likely regionally specific. My area has plenty of AGNPs and I have not known any to be lacking in finding a job if they wanted one. I have heard of several that have been employed in family practice that have later went back for post-masters FNP. AGNP closely reflects the scope of internal medicine and there are plenty of jobs and subspecialties available.

Adult gero NP S can actually see children age 13 and older. I chose this certification because i have absolutely no desire to care for children younger than that age group. Not sure where you are located but there are an abundance of jobs for ANP and AG NPs too, location will have an impact on your job search as well.
