[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You've only been an NP for a year.  That will be problematic for you if you SAH then go back after some years.  Pretty much any other applicant is going to be considered before you.  Even a new grad, because they likely also have worked as an RN for some yrs and have all their academic and clinical training fresh in their brain.  You will be left with a weak resume and no recent experience.

You will be much better off keeping your foot in the door in some way.  Either work as an NP part time or if there is a university near you with a nursing program, consider teaching.  Teaching one class or a skills lab will require little time but still keep your resume from looking quite so bleak.

OP did say she was working as a nurse through her NP program. That means she worked as a nurse for 2-3 years and she was an NP 1.5 years before getting pregnant. I think she should do part-time too. I don't think you can teach aa class unless you a doctorate of nursing. [/quote]

But just about everyone that is an NP worked as an RN for some time.  She will be competing with those same people and with little experience as an NP with no recent experience and several yrs out of school- doesn't look very good.

You only need a masters in nursing to teach part time as a clinical lab instructor.[/quote]
