I was considering enrolling in a nurse practitioner program right out of my BSN program. I always have known that was what I wanted to do, but I get mixed thoughts on what is best to do. I am afraid if I do not go back now, I may not find the right time to go back later in life, not to mention the NP program is changing from a master's degree to a doctorate in a few years. Should I just go back right away or practice as a nurse for a while?
