So I am applying to a program's family nurse practitioner school. One of the questions asks "Where do you see yourself in this role in 5 years?For those of you in programs, or who work already. Is there something specific schools like to see, such as certifications, accreditations, etc.?

Give specific examples, show them what you have done and hope to do. Your essay should tell a story about you and answer the question at the same time. Make sure to have someone proof read it too no grammatical errors allowed. Good luck

I assume you envision yourself as the recipient of a MSN degree with a specialization in the family nurse practitioner role. I assume you see yourself fulfilling a certain function.Just be honest. Good luck to you.
