Greetings, just a quick question about pursuing higher education. I finished my associates in nursing 1 year ago and ultimately, I want to finish my nurse practitioners degree. I have been told that if I take a ASN-to-MSN bridge program and I do not receive a BSN, I will be inelligible for certain jobs/degrees.
My question is why does it matter that I won't have a BSN? To my thinking, a MSN is more advanced than a BSN (similar to having a CDL vs just a regular drivers licence). I just want to understand why it matters to future employers that I don't have the lesser degree if I pursue the higher degree. Can someone please help me understand?
Thanks! !
