Psych NP programs

[morningcoffee]

Hi, I am a new RN/BSN in my age 50's.

I would like to be a psych nurse practitioner.

Because of my age, I hope to get into a psych np program as soon as possible.

But it's difficult for me to find a psych np program which does not require years of RN experience.

Can anybody please help me find one?

Thank you in advance.

Hello:)

I just want to tell you I am in a similar situation also. I am in 40's with only about 2 years very part time RN experience (not psych, but school nursing). I've taken the last 2 years off to help care for parent and prior to RN school was a SAHM for 10+ years! However, my interest in psych is strong and frankly I don't see myself doing anything else. I feel that when you know what you want and it is the right fit for you, a path will appear. I hope you find your way and please keep posting!!

Hello. I just happen to see your post and I'm inspired. I'm wondering what you've decided so far. I'm 40 with two younger children and strongly contemplating about getting a psych NP degree

I am 57 years young and is searching like crazy for a psych NP program online. Got rejected from Georgia Southern BSN to DNP program but I will not be discouraged. I have no time for that so I have chosen to keep it moving. I finished a BSN program in 2015 because I swore that I had to be a nurse, so here I am now wanting to go another mile. All you younger nurses (40s 50s+) don't you give up. Find a way to achieve your dream now because the regret can be too much.
