TRANSITION TO GRADUATE STUDY FOR NURSING

Introduction

If you’re thinking about going back to school, you might be wondering what it takes to become a nurse practitioner (NP). This career path is especially popular with recent graduates who want to practice in areas of medicine that aren’t traditionally available. In this article we’ll explore what it takes to become an NP and why so many people are interested in this career option.

Essential Information About the Nurse Practitioner Programs

In the United States, there are two main types of nurse practitioner (NP) programs: master’s and doctorate.

The most common NP program is a master’s program. This type of program typically takes two years to complete, but some can take as little as one year if you’re already licensed in your state or country.

A master’s degree will give you more practical knowledge about clinical practice and allow you to specialize in areas such as pediatrics or geriatrics when working with older adults who need long-term care support at home or in assisted living facilities. The requirements for admission vary by school; however, most require applicants have either an associate degree from an accredited college or university prior to applying for admission into their program.*

Why Nursing Grad School?

There are a lot of reasons why you should consider taking the next step and enrolling in nursing graduate school. The most obvious reason is that nurses are in high demand, especially with all the new regulations surrounding health care. Nurses have always been the backbone of health care and if you want to continue working as one after graduation, it’s important that your education reflects this fact.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) have autonomy over their patients’ care because they aren’t limited by what other doctors say about their practices or recommend as necessary treatment options for each patient’s condition. This allows NPs to use their judgment when making decisions about what type of treatment would be best for each individual patient based off whatever symptoms he/she brought into see him/herself; this could mean recommending something completely different than what another doctor might suggest due entirely on personal preference rather than medical diagnosis alone!

Finding the NP Program That Fits Your Goals

• Look at the program’s mission statement.

• Look at the faculty’s qualifications.

• Look at the curriculum.

• Visit the school’s location to see how easy it is to get around and find what you need, including restaurants and stores if you plan on living off-campus during your studies there.

• Check out any accreditation bodies that recognize them (i.e., Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education or National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission).

Typical Requirements for Admission

You’ll need to meet the following requirements:

• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4 point scale)

• Minimum verbal GRE score of 600 or higher; math GRE score cannot be lower than 500

• Minimum number of years of experience as a registered nurse in the United States, Canada, or any other country that permits foreign nurses to work there after graduating from an accredited nursing school

• Minimum number of hours in clinical practice per year (this includes time spent on site at hospitals)

The above requirements are typical for most programs but each one may have additional requirements such as:

• Number and type of courses taken before starting graduate study – some schools require certain types (e.g., thesis) while others don’t care about these things so long as you can do the work required by them!

Choosing an Area of Specialty

As you prepare for your first semester of graduate school, it’s important to make sure that you’re choosing a specialty that interests and excites you. You should also be aware of the demand for different areas of nursing. For example, if there is a specialty shortage in your area of interest, then that may mean fewer opportunities for employment as well as higher salaries when available positions do open up.

In addition to considering these factors, it’s also important to consider personality traits such as creativity or self-confidence when choosing an area of specialty because each has its own set of challenges along with rewards associated with them (see table below).

Takeaway:

The takeaways are that you should be aware of the needs of the patient, and the importance of taking time to listen to them. You can also learn how to improve communication with patients by asking questions and showing empathy, as well as reading body language signals like facial expression and tone of voice.

Finally, you should know that it’s okay if your first impression isn’t great—you just have to get over it!

Conclusion

Nursing school is a great way to get your career started and become a nurse practitioner. It’s also important to note that there are many different options available for nursing students looking for their first job as an NP. This means that you should do some research on the schools that interest you so that when interviews come around, your experience will shine through!
