What are your thoughts on doing full time NP school & full time new grad nurse?!

Not completely sure what you are asking here, but, if you are asking whether a new grad should immediately go into NP school, I would say unequivocally NO! The nurse practitioner role is an Advanced Practice role..... This means it is built on a foundation of basic or entry level practice. I would be very leery of any NP school that admits a newly licensed RN who has no clinical experience. Remember that education institutions are in the business of making money, in addition to other quests.
Whatever your area of interest, you need to build some background knowledge in that field, knowledge and judgement gleaned from hands-on patient care, however that is expressed in the field. You cannot, at this stage, realize the depth of experience you need to be a primary care provider for people who are depending on you for their medical care, and there will not always be someone looking over your shoulder. This is not kindergarten! Health care is not a game. You also cannot realize all that you will learn as an entry level RN.
Additionally, how do you know for sure what field you want for your advanced practice, if you have not worked in the field? Grad school and NP programs are expensive, and I do not mean in monetary terms only...the investment of time, energy and ego required of a good grad or NP program is huge. I would urge you to get substantial experience before you launch yourself as an NP.
Likely, too, you will enjoy your clinical practice as an RN.

NO WAY!!! What experience do your have???Nursing is like building a foundation to build on.Once you dedicate 2-3 yrs getting your skills together and solid,the sky is the limit..
If the foundation is weak(no experience) you do a dis service to your patients overall and to yourself. When you are young with energy,get yours skills on a solid base ...then go into the school system if that is what you want. Work in Peds or Pediatric ER if you want to specialize with children.
Good Luck!

The answer would depend on some background context. Are you a new grad BSN nurse? Are you going to NP school already without working experience? That isn't a really good idea. APRN is advance practice built off the knowledge of undergrad nursing as well as real world experience. As a nurse practitioner, you would not believe how much of my working experience I pull from daily to treat my patients. I could not imagine not having at least 5 years of acute care experience before even pursuing an advance degree.

No! You need time to develop your skills and learn how to be a nurse. How much clinical experience did you get while in school? The reason I ask is new grads that we are seeing had LIMITED clinical experience due to the Covid pandemic. While that may seem ridiculous….just because you e graduated from nursing school does not make you a subject matter expert. It takes time to learn and grow professionally. You didn’t say where you are going to work but here’s an example. I worked in critical care directly out of school and it took me 18 months to become competent and another18 months before I was allowed to be a charge nurse.

I would recommend a minimum of 3-5 years then go back to NP school. If you go to NP school now you will be book smart but application limited. Lastly some NP schools may not allow you to enroll without some clinical experience. Hope this helps

It is not a good idea. How can you fully understand the scope of Nursing while you are preoccupied with school?

I don't think that it is a good idea at all.

Until you’re in clinical for NP, I think it is doable. Then you may need to bump down to part time or per diem. It is a lot of new information to take in. It took me a full two years to feel fairly competent as an RN, no matter how well I did in nursing school. There was so much on the job experience I gained in my six years as an RN prior to becoming an NP. I would have an honest conversation with yourself about your own expectations and maybe revisit at different intervals throughout your schooling and your orientation.
