Hi I am new to this board and need help with a question if some one may be so kind to guide me. I am looking to do a complete career change in my mid 30's (Hey it's never too late I guess) After several years out of the med. field as an emt I want to go back and go for my NP in Pedi so I think 98% positive. I have a B.A. In Sociology. (I Know)! But I am craving to do this, I can't do what I do any more. Here is my question, I'm under the impression that I have to restart school to obtain a BSN. Does anyone know if I can some stuff carry over from my B.A. (so an excelerated BSN?) Then after I have gotten the BSN, Does anyone know and would I be better doing a NP or a CNS once I have my BSN? And does anyone here know what the future job outlook is for a NP in Pedi in the future?? thanks for any info in advance
