Hey everyone, I'm new here and just wanted to get some opinions. I graduated with a BSN in Communications in 2016. Since then, I've struggled with understanding what I really want and have been a little frustrated with myself because I don't have any desire to do anything in my field. Instead, I've found myself drawn to becoming a nurse practitioner. I live in Ohio and am really wanting to stay in state for my programs. Is it better to get an ABSN and work for awhile before going back to gain a degree to become an NP or to just do it all at once? If you're entering into either of these types of programs, what helped you choose one over the other? I realize it's something that will be different from individual to individual, but hearing other people's reasoning can be helpful sometimes! Thanks. :)
