Nursing Process, an independent, educational resource site, used data from the the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, Association of American Medical Colleges and others to create a list of the top specialties. By 2030, nurse practitioner jobs are predicted to grow 52.16 percent.
Here are the most in-demand specialties, in no particular order:
Family practice
Adult-gerontology primary care
Psychiatric mental health
Adult-gerontology acute care
Pediatric primary care
Pulmonology nurse practitioner
Pediatric acute care nurse practitioner
House call nurse practitioner
Cardiology nurse practitioner
Aesthetic nurse practitioner
Pain management nurse practitioner
Emergency department/urgent care nurse practitioner
Family nurse practitioners (FNPs) provide care for all ages — from infants to the elderly. They have flexible work settings and can be found in hospitals, primary care and specialty clinics and long-term care facilities.
Neither profession ranks “higher” than the other. Both NPs and PAs work in the healthcare field but with different qualifications, educational backgrounds, and responsibilities. They also work in different specialties.
Aesthetic nurse practitioners are one of the happiest nurse practitioner specialties because the overall stress from their job is low compared to other NP specialties.
Licensed vocational nurses (LVN) and licensed practical nurses (LPN) are some of the lowest-paid nursing roles, but that is due to the fact that the educational requirements are less than most other types of nurses.
The family nurse practitioner (FNP) is one of the best nurse practitioner specialties for many reasons. FNPs provide primary care with an emphasis on preventative care to patients across their lifespans.
For nurses who are passionate about providing much-needed mental healthcare to patients, pursuing a future as a PMHNP can be rewarding. In comparison, FNPs have the opportunity to provide comprehensive and lifelong care to patients and their families, allowing them to serve both individuals and their communities.
