Please help! Is it worth it???

Just wondering if anyone has had this issue...

I have been a nurse for 25 years and feel like I am at a crossroads. I have my BSN and have been contemplating returning to school for my Adult Gerontology Primary Care NP. I completed Kaplan's online RN-BSN 8 years ago and thought the program was good and I enjoyed it so was considering returning there for my NP. Has anyone done the program? Did you like it? How long did it take to complete? And lastly, did you feel prepared to take the certification exam.

I guess I'm just wondering if at this point its just too late. I'm 45 years old...I feel like I would be wasting my time and money.

On the other hand, working 12 hours shifts in the ICU is making me feel stuck...like I need to challenge myself...

Thanks for any feedback!
