Hello.
I am 18 years old and am interested in becoming a nurse practitioner. I have two problems; I have no idea how to, and I am also a young mother. I work at at a physicians office and the doctors there are really fond of me because they say I'm great at what I do, which for now is working in the back with the files, etc. However, I am currently enrolled in a community college and the doctors at my workplace are advising me to instead take a short course for medical assisting, so I can get a raise to help support my family while gaining more experience. I am looking into taking a clinical medical assisting course at Boston Reed, but I was hoping someone could give me advice as to how I can further my education and become a Nurse Practitioner once I finish at Boston Reed. I was told to go to Boston Reed because I know two young ladies who went there, who are also mothers (at age 23 and 24). I am aware of the long years I will have to be in school to become a NP, but I don't know where I would be allowed to go after Boston Reed or what courses to take.
Does anyone know about the credentials or the courses at Boston Reed? If so, would you recommend that school for me?
If you can help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
