| I know that you need first a bachelors degree in nursing to become a RN. Then addition schooling to become a pediatric nurse practitioner.
So, is there specific schools you need to go to to become a PNP?
I have a plan, but I want to make sure it's accurate. I'll get a bachelors in nursing. Then I'll get a job as a nurse and while I'm doing that I'll become a PRP throughout online schooling. Specifically in pediatric nursing.
Is this a good plan to achieve my goal? Is it possible to become a PRP online? Do hospitals help out with schooling to further your career? This is what I've been told.
So, is this plan okay? Can you tell me of other routes to take?
Thanks in advance. :D

 | I am very interested in becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I am currently completing my Bachelor's degree and will be applying for the MSN-FNP program next year (they accept direct entry applicants). It doesn't seem like there are many job postings for Nurse Practitioners in the hospitals within an hour of here, though. Is it becoming difficult to find NP jobs? Will I have to be open to relocation?

| How long does it take to become a pediatric nurse practitioner and what are the requirements, starting from the freshman year of college (i.e. start with a nursing major and take it for four years to obtain a BSN, do internships really help, what specific type of graduate school, etc)? Also, from your own perspective, is this a challenging career to study and actually work in? I heard that being an RN itself is a rewarding job, and I really would like to know more about this career. Thanks =)

| I'm trying to find out the best route, and the quickest yet best quality, to become a nurse practitioner. I'm an RN with an Associate Degree, and have been in the medical field for 29 yrs, since high school.
I'm interested in learning something new, and would like to stay in the medical field despite a partial disability I have. This makes it impossible to continue with physical, or even sedentary nursing, so more autonomy would be great.
If there are any legitimate at home job for an RN, that would be very helpful in the meantime. Any ideas?
I've been Charge nurse in a high acuity med-surg unit in a teaching hospital, and presently Charge in a Surgery/Oncology unit. I also work ENT/Ortho/GI/GU/Oral/Plastics/Derm clinics, and Minor surgery.
I was a certified scrub tech prior. I worked in the OR for 10 yrs. I trained at the best, 'Big Charity' in New Orleans.
Motto: 'See one, do one, teach one' I specialized in Ortho and Neuro, training new staff.
Thanks for input!

| I am going to be graduating from high school in May, and I will be attending a 4-year university I'm fall. I am planning on majoring in Nursing and minoring in music. I then will have to have 2 or more years of experience as a RN before attending grad school to become a nurse practitioner. I would really love to specialize in either OB/GYN or Neonatal. Does anyone know how to come about in specializing as a prospective NP?
The process? Thanks! (:
