NP Age

Published

Is 52 too old to start an NP career when the nurse has had 3.5 years of nursing experience and an MBA with consulting and sales experience? VERY interested in integrative health and prevention as a sole practioner. Would like some insight. Thanks,

What experience are you referring to? Lack of NP experience? Or lack of nursing experience? Because by that time I will have 3 to 5 years of working as a nurse. Or are you saying that I will need more nursing experience than 4 years?

Oh excuse me! (not sarcastic hehe... it's hard to tell through a computer) I assumed you would not be both working and doing your MSN. Best of luck

Go for it!!! I got my NP at age 47 and it's the best thing I ever did.

I most certainly will! What do you like about bring an NP? What kind of NP are you?
