I just graduated as an NP and I'll be 48 in 2 weeks..;)

39 have been np for 6 years

I'm in the fire dept also. I've worked as an emergency nurse for several years and starting NP school in August. I'm 42. I still have twelve more years in the FD, so I guess I'll do both, as I don't plan on giving up the FD retirement. I plan to work part-time ER.

PM me if you have any other questions. Best wishes to you in your studies.

No offense whatsoever. I'm 50 and have been an APN for 3 years. I have been a volunteer pre-hospital RN for 10 years on my rural fire dept - no pension though - lol.

age 52 and have been practicing since 1987 as FNP

Nephrology - dialysis visits might be an option. We have 5 mid-levels in our practice and two do part time dialysis visits.

I'll be 28 when I graduate next year. I plan on taking on a FT position for the first few years, then going PT cuz my hubby and I are thinking kids are in our future. ;)

Age 34, just graduated with FNP.

Accepted part-time (32 hours as that was what I was looking for) in primary care peds. Also offered part-time in OB-GYN and Internal Med. Don't worry (as I did-obviously unnecessarily) there are part-time positions out there!

I'm 58 and will probably graduate this year as an np. There are several in my class who are 62.

I am 32 years old and have been an NP for one year. I personally feel age is irrelevant to how clinically competent a provider may be. I don't have any age preference for providers that take care of me...as long as they know what they are doing. :)

I'm going to school part time and hope to be credentialed by age 55 as a mental health/psych NP.
