WOC Nurse NP?

Anyone do Advanced Practice as a WOC Nurse?  I am debating graduate school.  I am not really "into" peds, but kind of thinking FNP would be the "better" option, although I am more interested in Adult/Geriatrics.

My co worker is doing her FNP with plans to do advanced practice wound care. I am actually not sure how that works, because doctors usually bring patients in to the clinic through their private practice. I am not clear how an NP would bring in patients. But, more to your question, I think she felt that the FNP track is the closest fit for adult wound care.

I have worked at 2 wound center with a NP in each and both were very good and seemed to enjoy their job.
