I'm considering applying for direct-entry MSN programs to become a psychiatric nurse practioner. I'm wondering if anyone has been through one of these programs and can weigh in on what the social life is like. It is pretty important to me to have the typical grad school experience of getting to know and bonding with classmates, hanging out outside of class, etc and I'm concerned I won't get this in nursing or NP school since it seems like a lot of people work part-time, are older and have families, etc. I'm also concerned I wouldn't fit in because I tend to be more introverted and more of a "dreamer" rather than a people-person who is practical and down to earth.
Can anyone who has been through it weigh in on what your experience was like?
