Question

Hello Allnurses,

I have a few questions about becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I only have a year left to get my ADN. Do I have to get by Bachelor in Nursing then Master to become a Pediatric Nurse Practionier is there any option beside that I Just want to focus on the Pediatric area to become a Nurse Practionier. Can Nurse Practioner open up their own doctor office? I am looking to hear from from yall soon. I really desire to work my way up to Nurse Practioner then I am only 26 year old :)

Most programs will require a BSN for entry, or some other type of Bachelor's degree for admission as a Nurse Practitioner is given a MSN when they graduate from the program.

Depending on ths state where you live, NPs can and do open their own office for treatment of patients. However, with peds, you will see most of them employed by hospitals or working in tandem with a physician. Many pediatricians now work in group practices so that they can get some time off and not be on call every single nite. Again, it depends on where you live, etc.
