I think I finally made my decision about going back to school. I completed my bachelor’s degree last year and have been on the fence about getting my master’s degree. Is it worth it? What path should I take? I just couldn’t make a decision.
I think I know what I am going to do. I’m going back to school.
At first, I planned on either following an education or leadership path. I think that is going to change. I’m going to try to get into a nurse practitioners program.
After talking to lots of other nurses that are currently in school, nurses with their master’s degree already, and lots of research, I realize my career path is far more flexible if I have my advance practice degree.
I think I stayed away from the idea of an NP program because I had a very narrow idea of what nurse practitioners can do.
My views are changing. Being around a lot of wonderful NP’S in my career had shown me they do a whole hell of a lot. NP’S make a difference. I want to make a difference. I think I’m going to really give this a shot…
YES FRED!!!!! You got this!!! The world is your shiny nursing oyster!! Well done for taking the plunge and making that decision. You can do this. I’m sure your choices will change but you’re on the path either way 🙂 go get em! Have a great weekend
