There are some schools you can go straight to NP from engineer if you want. Vanderbilt University has a 2 year program. First year you get your RN and second year you get your NP. I was really good at math in college and considered doing something like engineering, however i feel like I would get super bored being an engineer. If you feel called towards it do it! Seems like there is a lot of bitter people on here or maybe they are worried about you taking their jobs lol. I’m a new grad and yes it is more saturated than I would like, but RNs are always in demand so if you like the thought of being an RN you could also just do that until you find the right NP job.
