Interested in NP field

Published

I worked last 20 years in IT with Associate degree.

I am 42 and interested in a career as nurse practitioner as ultimate goal.

Am I too old for NP career , as opposed to bedside nursing.

I need 40 credits for BS in computer science. associate obtained 1990.

Is it best to disregard previous degree and start 4 year BSN from scratch?

Pre-req's can be done at community college?

I am trying to figure out A to B plan , as part of whether this is the best plan for me.

I am a male, if that makes any difference.

Thanks for any advice. Hoping someone here already did what I am thinking about.

Specializes in Pain, critical care, administration, med.

You are never too old. I just finished my post masters certificate and passed my certification test in adult health NP and I am 50. It needs to be something that you really want and willing to work for.
