How to become NP

I have started taking classes for my bachelors. I am doing the UTA RN to MSN program online. They will let you stop and just get bachelors if you want. I signed up for MSN in education, but am now second guessing myself.

What are some of the avenues to obtain NP in perhaps family practice or psych or ER. Is is feasible to complete the masters in education and then add NP or should I change programs.

This is all very new to me and I haven't a clue. I wouldn't mind teaching, I would love it, but I'm concerned about making a living as well. I hear nursing teachers don't make very much.

    You are going through the same thought processes as I was a semester ago. I thought, "NPs can teach, so why am I limiting myself to only teaching through the NE track?" I came to the conclusion that I want to be the best instructor I can be, and the Ed track will give me the education to do so. I don't want to practice as an NP. At all. I already know the pay is less as an educator, but NPs make less than I do as a registry nurse.

    At any rate, it's not the money...it's what is gonna make me happy and good at what I do. That's why I decided to stay with education. Is I really want NP in the future, I can do a post-grad cert program.

    When it it comes down to it, it's not money that makes people happy...it's the love for the job. Education is where I eventually want to be.
