Which job to choose?!Rating: (votes: 0) What NP specialty would you pick? Maybe that can help us help you. Comment: Adult Geriatric Acute Care or FNPComment: I'd go ED and here is why: for FNP no other unit will give you the exposure ED will. Most condition across all life spans, even better if the hospital runs out of beds and you hold those pts for multiple shifts, then you are forced to be ED, ICU, med-surg, Tele (heck...even OB)nurse. And with level 1 trauma cases you get good Ortho and neuro experience. For acute care it would be good as well if you don't know what specialty you want. I would not choose ANY ccu that doesn't have a progressive heart program in the hospital. Basic caths get old quick and those pts aren't often sick post PCI. Mow a GOOD ccu is different... those are often the most complex ICU pts you'll see, bad valves, CABG, cardiogenic shock, post arrest... these people get sick but you'll only deal with that... not ideal for fnp but great for acnp working in cardiology....... go ED, and move units in a year if necessary. and if this is an academic facility? Even better.Comment: I vote for med-surg since you would see more varieties and it's a day shift.Comment: Emergency department.Comment: Moved to Nursing Career Advice section for best chance member advice.
