NP

I've been debating to go back for NP for a while now, it's always been in the back of my mind. Some nurses more experienced than me said that they make more than NPs and there really isn't a point in going back to school. I also have a lot of loans so I'm not sure if its worth it. Also, I've heard the jobs are saturated now and its hard to find practicums. Do you agree?

    What school did you choose? What were your clinical rotations like?

    Full-time brick and mortar program and public research university. Clinical rotations included: 6 months in peds private practice, 10 months paid internship with VA, and 2 months high-acuity inpatient. Also a few random 1-ff shadow days (e.g. ED consult liaison, substance use treatment program). I think I had close to 1K hours when I graduated. Also program provided placements with vetted preceptors who actually WANTED to precept and were experienced in enough in their practice settings/specialty to provide strong mentoring. Most of my classmates had similar quality of placements to what I had and similar hours at graduation. I worked as RN in psychiatric setting as well during program and was fortunate to work with supportive providers who knew I was in school for PMHNP and provided mentorship and learning opportunities while I was at work as well.
