FNP career

So any advice on pursuing an FNP? What would I need to do and is it worth it....
Im really asking more out curiosity because i doubt i would get into a program like that, mainly because i dont think i will be getting grades higher than C in my ADN program, if i decide to finish.... but im confident i would pick it up once I move into an RN-BSN program...but my gpa would not fare well with a 2.6 nursing GPA and a 3.4 overall gpa in all course factored which is everything including nursing... Again this is just an inquiry to anyone who knows, but interesting because
the autonomy seems really great.


Also....is it worth it?

There are also programs for ADN to MSN - you might want to consider these.

Whatever you decide, please get RN experience before you move forward. Please. I am seeing way too many APNPs with the clinical sense of a thumb tack. You'll be a far better practitioner if you've actually worked as a nurse first.
