h! i just graduated with my bsn last month and will soon be starting orientation for my rn position in a few weeks. my question is this: how long do you think someone should work as an rn before applying to np school? i want to become an adult acute care np someday and was thinking of starting np school (part-time) after i work as an rn for 1-2 years. while i'm going to np school part-time, i would still be working as an rn part-time as well. what do you all think?
