Clinical Neuropsychologist vs. Nurse Practitioner?
HELP! I am currently a nursing major. I am about to start my 3rd year in my undergraduate studies. I have always been interested in the brain, psychology, and behavior. I originally wanted to become a nurse practitioner who specializes in neurology. I like the one on one relationships nurses have with their patients, and I want a career where I get to treat people directly. I figured that if I were to become a nurse practitioner specializing in neurology, that I would be able to not only work closely with patients, but also on a specialty that I am interested in (the brain). However, I love psychology as well. I recently found out about the career of a neuropsychologist that could combine my love of psychology and the brain. But I'm already in the middle of earning my Bachelors in Nursing Science to become a registered nurse! I don't know what to do. I don't want to switch majors to psychology now because I would feel that all my hard work was for nothing. Nursing classes are a lot harder than psychology classes. So my GPA is only a 3.3. I'm not sure what I want to do now. Clinical Neuropsychologist? Nurse Practitioner specializing in neurology? Somebody please help. Anyone with experience telling me which career they think suits me more would be very helpful. As well as the differences between the two careers. The Pro's/ con's. Anything would help!
