I am currently in my BSN program and still have a year left. I have been thinking about maybe being Nurse practitioner. No idea what specialty. I am only 20 years old and will be 21 when i graduate from BSN program. If I decide on being an NP, how long do you have to work as a nurse before you apply to the program? I always thought about workin in ICU or ER because i like being where the action is but i dont know. I like lots of things but do not want to go into elder care, OB, or peds. Anyone have any information about some of the different types? Any info is appreciated :) thanks
