How to Become a Nurse Practitioner + Other Questions on the Profession
To any nurse practitioners out there available to answer questions, how did you get to where you are now (education-wise). I’m not quite sure how to get to being a practicing nurse practitioner-in any field- through education. From what I understand, you have to have a Masters of Nursing and also a degree for Nurse Practitioners but I’m not certain. Also, which medical field for nurse practitioners pays the most? I know nurse practitioners can do just about anything but I’m not sure what is most financially rewarding. As a side note, I am especially interested in the surgical aspect of the medical field, so being a surgical nurse/nurse practitioner would be ideal depending on how much it pays on average.
