career moveRating: (votes: 0) I'm not a manager nor do I desire to become an FNP, however $50,000 is awfully low for a managerial position IMHO. I don't think this "hurts" your chances at becoming an FNP, however I'm not sure it will enhance your FNP role, assuming you want to be a clinician (FNPs wear many hats and do not only work as clinicians, some are business managers and if that's the route you take, then the position will most certainly enhance it). If you do decide to take the position, have you considered working PRN as a bedside nurse to keep your skills current? Are you currently enrolled in your FNP program? If so, do you think you can work as manager full-time and attend school? Becoming a manager is 24-hour job. Comment: Yes I'm currently looking for a PRN job and you're right it will be a 24 hour job.....thanks so muchComment: NP education is focused on patient care - which is the role of NPs - rather than administration/leadership. My point is - management experience is not really going to have much relevance to NP education... neither good nor bad. If you discover that you really want to move into leadership/admin, There are more relevant educational pathways. I agree - $50k seems pretty low, but I am not familiar with non-acute settings.
