Mike’s Answer

Hi Addison, I worked with a team of nurse practitioners at a large medical center in Boston. Your question is important, and there's no single answer. Some NPs succeed by continuing their education right away, while others benefit from gaining work experience first. It depends on your situation. In specialized fields, employers often prefer nurses with experience before hiring them as NPs. Think about whether you need a break from school or if you need to earn money before taking on more student loans. Consider what experience is needed for different specialties. Some large organizations may even help pay for NP schooling. Also, try using LinkedIn to connect with NPs in various fields. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
