RN to MSN December 31, 2007
Posted by Jennifer - RN, MSN in : DocHubCollege , add a commentThe RN to MSN is often regarded as a “bridge” program, in which one goes directly from their RN certification to their Masters in Nursing. Typically, the nurse would already have their Associates degree in Nursing. These degree programs typically take three to four years to complete. The RN to MSN bridge entry option may be the quickest, most efficient way to attain a Masters degree in nursing, even for those who have not yet attained their BSN. However, a graduate degree in nursing may not be for everyone–to explore the RN to BSN option, make sure you are willing to put the time and commitment necessary to be successful. Some of the courses may include nursing informatics, nursing practice management, as well as intensive clinicals if you interested in the Family Nurse Practitioner, Midwifery, or Nurse Anesthetist program.
