Im 17 years old and I have applied for UCA. I eventually want to be a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. But Im confused on how to go about getting there. If I go in for the BSN program, how do I get my RN? And then later on I want to go for my MSN then eventually get to Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. Does anyone have any advice or personal stories on how you went about getting yours? At this point anything will help.

Thanks for the advice. I'm still going to go up to LPN to help pay for med school. But I understand where y'all are coming from by taking a spot from someone who wants their ending career to be a nurse. Still a lot to think about. But I have plenty of time to do it.

I'm 17 years old and im in Job Corps for the CNA program and will be going to advanced training to get my LPN. I've always wanted to be a neonatal nurse but with recent research I decided to be a NNP. But now with more research I've decided I either want to be a neonatologist or a Neonatal Surgeon. But I don't know how to go about that. Should I go to be a Neonatal nurse first? Will that change how much college I have to take before med school? Willing to go wherever I have to get school done
