Time off after NP school?

[Nguyenchester]

I'm looking to graduate from NP school by the end of 2015 and I was curious as to what exactly was everyone's input on taking time off or traveling for an extended period of time after graduation. There were quite a few topics on the new grad job market for RN's but not so much on NP's. I was intending to go travel around the world for 3 months to a year after graduation or at least after taking the boards. I didn't do this initially after graduating from my BSN because of fears about the job market but I don't want the opportunity to pass when I get too settled in with a family, bills, etc.

Toward the opposite end of your career, you will be sorry if you never took the time to enjoy yourself, so I would recommend doing it now while the opportunity presents itself. Have fun!
