Youngest NP?

Published

Hello all! Just wondering what's the youngest age (range) one has seen for NP's? I've been told an old friend from highschool is a NP and I am amazed b/c she is only 25! Just seems really young to me, but I'm really happy for her if this is true. She missed our graduation b/c she was pregnant/showing and didn't want to attend. Good to hear she didn't let that get in the way of pursing an education and doing well for herself and her child.

Specializes in Pediatrics.

I wrote a post a few months ago about being worried about this. I am doing a direct-entry program, and I don't start until August/September, but I am really concerned about this. I will be 22 when I start, but I look like I am 15-16. The people who responded to my post said that I may get comments from people, but for the most part people respect you once you have the title...

I am hoping this is true!

Drexel University online, it is a great well aknowledged school. I am in their ACNP program and it is difficult but doable while working full-time.

Good luck!:D:yeah:

I graduated with my MSN at 25 and this was working a year as a RN before I applied to the MSN program. My first goal was to go straight from BSN to MSN without working, and decided not too. We had several students in my program to do this. I believe the youngest was 23 and she had the highest GPA in our program.
