Hi!!

Looking to go back into NP next fall - by then I’ll have been a nurse for 6 years! Most being ICU and the last year and half being hospice. Lovedddddd hospice and palliative care so wanted to stay in this area but I’m open to movement if the job market is that bad

With the estimate time line im thinking by the time I finish NP I’ll have been a nurse for 9-10 years if I do MSN and 10-12 if I do DNP.

Currently my hospice schedule sucks so I have to go back to bedside to accommodate going back to school either full time and work part time or vice versa

I am trying to choose between AG NP primary care vs FNP

Thing is - I really do not fk with kids enough to take care of them but I do be fking with my old folks much more

But I also don’t wanna limit myself in the market.

As for programs - I’m in the greater Philly area and have quite a few hybrid programs - the ones I’m looking at all have a brick and mortar university campuses ( my list is : holy family, Neumann, bloomsburg , lasalle, misericorida, and possibly temple (if I go work for them, and my psu grad brothers want me to apply to psu DNP))

While I really would like to take the least amount of loans - I still live with parents and they don’t make me pay rent so I can pay tuition fully outta pocket after the education benefit from hospital programs and I took out $$$$ for my bsn so already learned my lesson 😩

I’m also debating if I should go back to ICU ( if I can find days) and do that part time with school or just take any open days position. Being in hospice my acls and bls have long expired so I have to get those re certs done

Any advice helps!!! Ty!!!!

Yes I am open to moving if need be for a job!
