Hello everyone, I am a previous scrub tech injured in the field and had to transition careers at the time. I obtained my masters in professional clinical counseling with an associate license to practice. Now I was wondering can I transition back and obtain my BSN through national university (accredited) then go for DNP in psych since I have a background in psych? Will my masters and license be worth anything if I get an RN liscense as well? I believe it maybe considered dual degree? Looking for best outcome. I did withdraw from PhD in clinical psychology as the expense of the program was 185,000 for 5 yrs duration at the school not including full time on ground and potential for leaving the state for internship and post doctoral hrs. This route would have been too long to see the return and I have lils.

I also had this same question. I just completed my masters in professional clinical counseling and have obtained my liscense to practice which is the same as lmft...I want to obtain my RN and shoot back up to doctorate...I've been looking at schools and I just withdrew from phD prog as clinical psychologist as the requirements were not feasible for my family at this time. I have prior medical background as a Licensed scrub tech but was injured which caused the career change can someone who is experienced help me navigate as I was thinking I could bypass the NP portion and go enter DNP
