Will Psych Nursing Define My Career?

[PHhopeful]

I'm a new graduate interested in public health with two job offers.

One of them is in the city where I currently live. It has many elements that make it appealing. My main role will be psych/behavioral health nursing with a very high risk population. I am most interested in community health, preventive care, and health education. But, I also think psych nursing is cool and I enjoyed that clinical rotation.

The second offer is in a small town in a very expensive (tourist) region. That role is all of the things I listed above--triage, education, prevention; very community and family oriented healthcare.

All things being equal, I would probably choose the second offer, because as a new nurse I feel having a broad focus would be beneficial. However, moving there might be a bit of a financial struggle. I wouldn't completely rule it out, but it's not ideal. So, I am leaning toward a job that is a great opportunity, not exactly what I'd hoped for, but doesn't come with strings as far as relocation, etc.

My questions are:

How hard is it to go from outpatient psych nursing to other outpatient nursing roles in the future (triage nurse, nurse educator, etc.)? Are you stuck in psych nursing forever?

Will a psych/behavioral health position give me a good foundation for being an FNP student (someday in the distant future)?
