Steps to becoming Family Nurse Practioner


I would love to hear this in simple language. I am a newly graduated RN. I enrolled in a bachelor's program, but had too much personal stuff going on to keep up. My long term goal is to be an NP in community healt, but haven't set up a plan yet, and honestly don't know where to start. Can someone enlighten me please?

So you are currently an Associate Degree-Prepared RN? If so, you can search for bridge programs that are made to take you from your current status to a Masters in Science, Nursing with a focus on whatever type of advanced practice you choose. Those programs are out there, but it may take some searching and moving away from your current home for a time. Where are you, geographically-speaking?

I have my AAS in nursing, in a bachelor's prepared program. My bachelor's went on hiatus but I need to pick up the pieces and put them back together. I live in a rural community and moving is not an option.
