Hello everyone, i'm currently a high school student. I know I want to be a nurse and will be attending college for my bsn soon. I know that I want to be a nurse for sure, but I know I want to achieve the highest level of nursing in a dnp and become a nurse practitioner. My questions are how long did you work as an rn before going to grad school? And is it possible to achieve the dnp while working part time? I'm going to be single no kids or anything else so I can just worry about school and working. And I know the differences between an np and an rn I just want to know how different it is working as an np after being an rn. Thank you!
