I'm 54 y/o female, been a nurse 36 years, currently a RN for 23 years (first 13 as an LPN) working for a geri-psyche facility for about 8 months. I'd like to go for PMHNP after I first get my BSN, single, single source of income, is this something I should pursue at my age? I anticipate working another 20 years at least. I hear so many nurses saying the field is saturated and a good paying job with benefits (which I really need) is almost impossible to find a job. Please advise, I don't want to incur debt to go to school if I may have extreme difficulty getting a job.

Dear Nurse Beth,

I'd like to go for PMHNP after I first get my BSN, single, single source of income, is this something I should pursue at my age? I anticipate working another 20 years at least.
