Choose AGPCNP 😛😛😛...I'm a little biased 😁 I did my research a few years prior to applying to my NP program. I knew I wanted to work with the Geriatric population doing home visits but they did away with the GNP certification (I was very sad). Realized they just combined adult and Geri together into one certification. So that was my mission (accomplished 😉) in spite of folks suggesting FNP for the supposed marketability. Naaaah, I'm good, don't want deal with or learn about the pediatric population, thank ya very much! 😉

Thank you for explaining. As others say, it is overwhelming. I am finishing my B.S.N. now and will hopefully start NP school in 2022. Trying to look into the future is difficult so starting with baby steps and breaking it down really helps. Thank you!

Already knew I didn't want to deal with the peds population but this is the affirmation I needed to wipe off any lingering doubts. Informative and educative. Thanks.

This was the most helpful video I’ve seen yet. Thanks

Thank you so much for your videos, insight and wisdom. As an MN-NP student, I follow many NP blogs, videos and groups. I have heard of acute care NPs going back for FNP or pediatric and adult NPs going back for the FNP. It seemed that specializing can be limiting. Some also mentioned that FNPs are being hired into hospitals anyway for roles like hospitalists or emergency departments. I am an ICU nurse, and I also have my certification, which helps market my acute care experience. I chose the PHC (Canadian FNP equivalence) for the marketability reason that many mention and to keep my options open. Thanks again for your videos! 💗 Unfortunately, there's not much representation here, so I love your content! So encouraging, motivating and uplifting.

I love this channel and your twist out looks amazing😍! Keep up the good work!

Lordie-- wish I had this video back in 2017. Have my FNP. Decided this because I have experienced in peds & adults. I believe because of the " marketability " that was a good deal. Currently, 4months in and realize I should of went with WHNP / CNM. Nonetheless, I am seeing my role as FNP in FQHC as added bonus when I transition into WHNP/CNM role.

I've been accepted into both FNP and AGACNP programs for this Fall I'm so confused...I don't know which to pick ultimately I think I'll have some regrets. I most likely will need to get an additional certification that way I can be dual certified...

What about NP in Sleep medicine after BSN can you guide me regarding the easy way to choose between FNP or others

Right now, I think I am leaning toward AGACNP to work in acute care setting (ICU, ED, Urgent Care) and maybe do rounds on nursing home patients. I also want to keep my options open for executive administration in addition to maintaining a clinical workload presence.

I am a AGPCNP you have some valuable tips, just to piggyback to what you are saying, specialize in the area you want to work in not the most popular. or what others say. I choose (AGPCNP) because I have absolutely NO desire to work with kids. Finding a job is also dependent on who will hire you. My co-worker who did Acute Care would like to work in the outpatient setting but is unable to find a job, due to her training ( she is more knowledgeable that some MD. I am Impressed by her knowledge level. She is now going back to school for FNP,. I work in the hospital and I did not do Acute, our job function is the same. A NP can work in any specialty ( cardio, nephrology, urology, podiatry) just depends on who will hire you. I think a solid nursing foundation prepares the NP for any specialty.

So as an AGPCNP you can also work in the hospital. I just made the decision to become a AGPCNP because I love the LTC setting but I would love the option to work in acute settings with geri.

Do you work hourly in the hospital or salaried?

I have done Msc nursing from India which course is best for me I work or practice as a nurse or practisnor in usa without nclex exam

I'm a first-year AGACNP student and was thinking of switching to FNP because people say it is more “marketable” and working in an outpatient setting is less stressful. I have always worked in a hospital as a RN. I don't even know how it is to work in an outpatient setting... I don't know whether I should switch or not. I don't like seeing peds...

I am FNP and when I went for FNP I was told the same thing, honestly for me out patient setting is not for me. I had all my years of nursing working in the hospital. If you have never worked out patient please try and shadow different out pt role that is one thing I should have done. I don't see Peds pt, I prefer not to. All the best to you.

Is it true that the nursing field is over saturated with NPs? I heard that there are many nurses walking around with a NP certification but cannot find an NP job. Can you do a video about if this is myth or fact.

I'm applying for some direct entry MSN programs for fnp. I hope to eventually became crna.

@@fromcnatonp FNPs do work on the hospital. It’s the Acute care NPs who are not able to work in the outpatient setting. I can see the difference, caring for patients with chronic illnesses is different than caring for acute problems. The best example I can give is working in ICU versus med surg.

I have always been in geriatric for my whole career and that is what I will be doing but my question is do I need to be certified to be a nurse practitioner in a skilled nursing facility or is that something extra you can get? Also, I am in the beginning phase of choosing a school any ideas of things I should look at when choosing? I know there are many great schools but I am not willing to pay an extra $20 thousand dollars for the name recognition of one school over another when the programs are the same quality wise.

Honestly the only thing I look at in a school is if the school is accredited make sure they are bc you will not be about to do nothing with a degree from a school not is not accredited and some of them loose accreditation for multiple different reasons. Name recognition I don't look at either. You do not need another certification to work in skill facility, just getting your NP in either AGPCNP or FNP skilled nursing will hire you. Good luck you

So I am considering getting certified in wound care while I await acceptance to a DNP program. I already have my Masters. While researching I have gotten twisted all around I think. Prices for these program are all over the place. Some "courses" cost arounf 600 dollars, while som e"program" through unicersities range from 1500 to 2500 dollars and run a full semester like a college semester. What is the difference between these certificate and board certification. I guess I would like a more thorough explaination of your certification. Do you have a certificate or are you board certified? What is the difference? which is better? how does this weigh in on pay? does it affect billing and documentation? And do you have any credible program recommendations (next video recommendation)
