What do you think about getting a post masters? I want to mainly work with peds (I’m not opposed to working with adults though). I’m planning on getting my FNP but then getting my post masters in Pediatric Acute Care. Can you practice as a PNP with a post masters?
You may have already covered this, but I will ask! Do you think the FNP market is oversaturated? I am in NC as well, and I have heard this from multiple people.
I decided to go for FNP because I really wasn’t set on one speciality over another. My own Ob/Gyn provider is an FNP and encouraged me to go for that even if I was interested in women’s health. She explained it like “what happens if I get into women’s health and I don’t love it?” With the FNP, I’ll have options to move around and find something I love! Thanks for the video!
I’m leaning towards DNP FNP, but part of my heart is still in Women’s health after being a Labor and Delivery nurse for more than 25 years, I’m definitely not interested in CNM because I don’t want to take call. I have a few more months to make the decision but finding WHNP programs in my area is a challenge and we are not able to relocate anywhere at this time. Decisions, decisions!
I went for FNP eventhough i want to do adolescent reproductive health..my main focus is to work at my current FQHC and there are a lot of teens to be seen….I had a whole class and 144 hours n peds..n my practice sees A LOTTA KIDS lol….i got a lot of exp…i dont mind doing primary care…..i also have RN experience in FQHCs…I think RN exp counts to
I would have loved to hear you take on all of it like Nurse Anesthetist, Neuro Nurse, Midwifery and Psychs
Thank you for this video – helped me clear out a few things – I’m only interested in adults!
If I ever decide to pursue nursing again, women's health would be my main interest. I looove the NP I used to go to and she really inspired that.
How would you use this approach for psych? I know I want to be a psych mental health NP, but want to work specifically with children and adolescents.
This is great! Makes me feel better that I'm halfway through my PNP program. 600 clinical hours dedicated to kiddos 🙂

Still no baby lol
this is seriously a valuable video that you don’t really find on youtube! 🙌🏽 thanks Liz you are always putting out good content and your channel is growing so much
Super helpful! I’ve been stuck between fnp and nurse midwifery for a while now!
Im new here! Enjoyed the video keep them up
Very informational! I'm making it a mission to really figure out in what direction I want to take my healthcare career and what specialty I would want to go into. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
You are awesome! This was so well put and it's what I tell people all the time!
What if the only available programs in my area are FNP, geriatrics, emergency NP, and CRNA but want to do a specialty? Can i get an additional license or something online to help me specialize?
I am still in nursing school (Senior year!!) but I know thats not where I want to stop. I have very much the mindset of preventative medicine and thought FNP would be a great way for me to target more people for that. Any tips/info/suggestions on getting into preventative medicine?
Hi Liz
This was a very informative video for those trying to decide on FNP etc. I totally agree with you about the amount of time you spend on Peds and Women's Health is minimal compared to the information you are taught pertaining to caring for the Adult primary care population in an outpatient setting. I am a women's health nurse but selected FNP because I wanted to broaden the patient population I would like to care for in my career.
Thanks for sharing
Your videos have been extremely helpful! I've been flip-flopping for a week already between WHNP and FNP and I'm still conflicted, but I feel more informed. Thank you for the insight!
I wished there was a pediatric cardiology specialty specifically. But I don’t mind working around different units with kiddos. But cardiology is my hope.
This helped me SO much. Oh my gosh I can’t even tell you. I have been following my heart with applying to WHNP instead of all the outside attempted persuasions to go for FNP. I have been so torn with going with my passion in fear I wont get a job. I feel I am willing to risk it.
I know I’m late to the game; but thank you for this. I’ve only ever worked with babies/peds. I have no desire to work with adults. I’ve been considering a PNP program; but everyone tells me to do FNP since it’s more “marketable.” I’m glad for this reassurance that I should follow my heart.
YES! I am a WHNP. Their are less jobs, but I feel that my education was very comprehensive in the world of obstetrics and gynecology.
Those are both the areas I’m stuck between😂
my OBGYN provider is an FNP but she said the only reason she didn’t have a hard time getting in to OB is because she had 10 years labor and delivery nursing experience and postpartum nursing experience.
I think it’s best to go FNP route that way if you focus on a specialty and don’t like it you have options! You can always get Certifications and addition training afterwards! Set yourself to be optimal, don’t limit yourself!
This is why I am going the PA route! Lateral mobility
thank you for this video. this was very helpful. my passion is Womans health but i felt pressured to go into FNP due to higher demand and possibly not being able to practice how i want. i didnt go to np school yet. this gave me better clarification to stick to my gut and go with whnp
great information thank you
Ahhh Liz…. always coming through with the advice, i come up with a question type it in the search box, a bunch of random stuff pops up and who do I end up getting the most helpful advice ? Ofcourse your friendly neighborhood FNP Liz 🤣
Four minutes in and this is already super helpful; thank you!
Ohh, I didn't even know I needed this one. My current big interest is Peds, but I'm open potentially to Women's Health since I'm all about the moms and babies. I didn't even consider that FNPs could even work in those, but I'm glad to see now that my idea of straight up specializing is likely the best choice. Plus, I'm 90% sure I want to be in the hospital environment rather than clinic, which isn't an FNP thing really (unlike family medicine doctors who can be either outpatient or inpatient). I like the adrenaline and challenge too much to survive even a day in clinic.
What if I want to do both peds and women’s health. Which NP program is suitable for me?
I want to do both 🙁
Thank you for sharing your opinion! I live in a small area where we do not have a lot of options for Women's Health Providers. WHNP is what I am interested in pursuing and most people that I have talked to have encouraged me to pursue an FNP. Thank you for thinking outside of the box sharing your thoughts!
question. I want do do Women Health but would also like to have "side gigs" as an NP. With that into consideration, would you say it makes sense to do FNP so that I have the "license" to approach a broader range of "side jobs"? Thank you for your video!!!
