You must have tons of money. If you want to become an NP you must get your BSN and then get at least 2 years nursing experience before you can apply to the NP Masters program. These programs are VERY hard to get into so many candidates have much more than 2 years experience before they get in.As of 2015 the requirement for an NP becomes a PhD.

But, if you want to go to nursing school, why are you wasting four years getting a Bachelor's degree in something else? You should apply for a nursing school where you can earn a BSN and then apply for an NP graduate program. Very little of your Bachelor's degree in a liberal arts area is going to count toward a BSN. If you want to do "gen ed" courses, you'd be better off doing that at a community college, where it will cost less. Well, yes.

You need to be in a BSN-RN program. Make sure you aren't wasting your time. After you graduate, you'll have to get experience in critical care for at least a year or 2, then apply to graduate school for NP; there is a move to convert to a doctoral program, so by then the requirments will be different than now.

Why don't you inquire at the nursing school about the steps required to become a nurse practitioner? Yes, you have to be a nurse first.

]]> Comment on Is getting your GED a bad thing if you are going into nursing school? by RoaringMice http://medical-scrubs.grabfacts.com/2011/is-getting-your-ged-a-bad-thing-if-you-are-going-into-nursing-school/comment-page-1/#comment-8683 RoaringMice Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:00:24 +0000 http://medical-scrubs.grabfacts.com/2011/is-getting-your-ged-a-bad-thing-if-you-are-going-into-nursing-school/#comment-8683 Please go to the website for the community college, and check out the pre-requisite classes you need to have taken before you can get into the nursing major. Often, in order to get directly into the nursing major in community college, you need to have taken a certain level of math in HS, and to have taken a certain level of biology - perhaps even AP bio. If you don't have those classes, then you won't be admitted directly into the nursing major. Instead, you'd need to enter the college and do those classes there. Of course there, you're paying for those classes - while in HS, it's free. So that's really something you need to check into and think about - is it possible for you to stay in HS and finish up those classes, so you can get directly into the nursing major at the cc? In other words, getting your GED without having those classes won't save you any time. In fact, it may make your "time situation" worse, because if you place low in the cc's math placement test, you'll have to start out in remedial (high school level or below) math, and you won't even be allowed to take the bio class you need until you get into college-level math. I've seen it take some people years to finally get to apply to the nursing major. So seriously, if you can do this math and bio coursework in HS, do it. It'll save you time, even if you end up taking extra time to graduate HS.
