Don’t let age limit you! What is stopping you from going to NP school? 😊
I am 54 years old just finished NP school and starting my first NP job. Age is a number, never too old.
I agree 100%! Congrats on finishing. I am sure you lived experiences will be a tremendously valuable asset to the care you give your patients!!
Great video. I’m 50 and am contemplating a career change. I’m going to start an ABN program next year and then go to an NP program. It is comforting seeing others have done it before me.
Thanks for the comment and for watching the video. Also, congrats on the career change. This is the same route I took to get to NP school, ASN to RN-to-BSN, and now MSN/NP. I took he ASN path because it allowed me to start working as an RN sooner, getting the clinical experience, while I worked on the next academic step. Please consider joining our community of students. While most are NP related, there are still great nuggets for RN students as well! Join Here >> bit.ly/PMHNPJourneyCommunity
This was the best video I have seen about NP school ! I’m an RN BSN and applied for FNP but still not sure I am up for it . I’m 51 and finished my BSN two years ago . Thank you for taking the time to make this video as I’m sure you are very busy !
Thanks for the nice comment and for watching the video. You CAN do this! Just watch some of my other videos about preparing and the “must do” things before you begin. You might also want to join our community (link in description). You’ll get access to our folder where I have uploaded a lot of checklists, cheat sheets, and resources you can use. When do you start school?
LPN at 47, RN at 50, BSN at 52... debating PMHNP next... would love to hear you break down the ROI & why you felt going forward at our age was a good decision! Also, any feedback on how you think the PMHNP compares to the RN program would be interesting to hear as well.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, these are great questions. I’ll plan a video this week to explain. Some of the question I answered in my video about why I choose PMHNP, so you might check that out.
Omg! You’re my hero!!! Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing post!
Thanks for watching and commenting! Was there any part of the video that you found particularly helpful?? Please consider subscribing to the channel and also joining our communtiy!
Thank you for making this video. I want to join RN am 38 years old. This what I needed to most today
I was in my 50’s with I started! You can do it. Most of the students in my nursing school cohort were in their 30’s, so you won’t be alone. Thanks for watching and commenting, please consider subscribing to my channel.
Thank you so much for this. At 51 I am contemplating if NP school is the route for me. You’ve inspired me and concluded several of the pondering questions.
Faye, thank you for your kind words, for taking time to watch my videos, and for commenting. I am always happy to answer any questions you have from my experience in school. You might also watch the video I did about choosing an NP specialty (th-cam.com/video/Mc0luUaDwJo/w-d-xo.html). For a veteran nurse I think you need to approach this subject a bit differently. Also, please consider subscribing if you think it is appropriate. Let me know what you decide!
Great video I’m in the same boat demographically as you described. I’m in my very first quarter for PMHNP. I am very excited!
It’s awesome that you would share your journey from your perspective with us.
Although I’m excited I am also a tad bit nervous…. But I’ve been here before.
Thank you ☺️
I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching the video. Please consider subscribing to the channel and also joining our community. Keep up updated on your progress…. You CAN do this!!
Great video. I am 32 right now and I was thinking I was too old to go to NP school 😆
You can do it Kadeem, age should not be a limiting factor. Just take into consideration all that the things I mentioned in the video.
@@MyPMHNPJourney your super sweet
I'm 49 and in np school
@@nicklam66 your an inspiration
@@nicklam66 Yes! You are getting it done! Hey, please consider subscribing to my channel if you want to follow along with me progress!
Great video. I always thought I am too old to go back to np school. 😊
@annaamelia8605oh not yet. I just got accepted in AGPNP program here in NYS for spring semester next year.
Like I said in the video, you are NEVER too old to learn something new. Just consider all the factors and, if it makes sense for you, your career, and your family, then do it! Also, please consider subscribing so TH-cam will put this content in front of others who are asking the same question!
Im 49 and dropped out of college because my grades were so bad. I had a 0.67 GPA which is basically failing (nearly) every class I ever took, haven't had any schooling since then (25 years ago) and I have never had any form of job. I was also in special ed. I want to go to nursing school but I'm wondering if that is actually possible. I also no nothing about medicine.
Thank you for your comment and for watching the video. I commend you for considering nursing school. It is not easy and it takes a lot of dedication and effort to complete. First, whether you want to complete a 2 year or 4 year school, you will have to take all of your state required core classes, i.e… English, math, literature, etc… before you start into nursing school. I suggest you decide which school you want to attend and apply. If you are accepted, you can meet with a guidance counselor to help map out your classes and get access to resources that will help you. Keep me informed on what you decide to do!
Have heard that there are too many NPs in certain fields in certain areas, making it harder to land an NP job at all, and then those NP jobs paid less than hoped for as there was no scarcity of applicants to fill those jobs, so employers get away with paying less for NP positions also. So it could be very area dependent on need and salary, and if you can't be or don't want to be flexible and willing to relocate, possibly multiple times, in order to chase a job or a botter salary. Might be other options to consider first to improve your job happiness before years or hard study and tuition costs, especially if you are older already. Sad state of affairs that improving our knowlege levels could not be worthwhile, but out entire health care system is currently messed up. Just truly analyze all your options as this presenter advised, then make the decision you think best for you!
Good points! Thank you for watching the video and commenting. I did another video about the process I used, including much of what you wrote, in choosing my NP specialty. I also have a checklist to use that guides a person through the process that is available to all of our community members. It is a great resource for anyone thinking about NP school and where to focus.
Sir I'm from Bangladesh. I'm interested to complete this course online. I'm 38 years old.
I wish you the most success!
