by bcandygurl Aug 28, '12I am a second degree student currently working on attaining my ADN c/o '14. I am currently interested in going the RN-MSN route, and I'm looking at Peds and Neonatal Nurse Pract. I was wondering for those who applied to either program was experience before applying necessary?? I know you need 2 years experience before you can take the boards for Neonatal Nurse Pract. However, I would like to apply as soon as possible as my prereqs are due to expire soon. I took Stats for instance in my undergrad, which was 3 years ago. I also plan to do my masters parttime while working so I am trying to get started with the theory classes as soon as possible. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as far as schools that would allow me to possible do this and also anything else that could be helpful.

Aug 28, '12 by PedsNP2013I am almost done my 2nd year of my PNP program. I had about 4 years of pediatric acute care experience when i started the program. For me personally i think having peds nursing experience helped me through adv pharm. adv patho and adv physical assessment (which i'm currently taking). However, i know lots of NPs that are so smart and great at their jobs that went right into NP school as a new RN grad. I think it depends on the type of person and learner you are. Many schools take new grads, without nursing experience, into their NP programs. Good luck.bcandygurl likes this.
