2. Need input on RN-BSN/RN-MSN decisions

   sunny_days replied to veriteblesse's topic in Post Graduate

   Many other nurses I work with are in the same position as you. I would say to go for a degree that you would use. If you don't think that you would like to practices as a NP or administrator, go the BSN route. There are many online programs that you ...

   sunny_days replied to kieran07's topic in New Nurse
