MSN or MBA

I also applaud the development of MSN/MBA combination programs. The combination can give you the best of both worlds.

The BSN is an entry-level degree -- and while it offers a glimpse of a few higher level topics -- it is still primarily an entry-level degree. If a person wants to be a nursing leader, they should be exposed to the world of nursing beyond the BSN level. But I also understand the benefits of the MBA content for a person interested in administrative roles. The combination takes care of both issues. It might be a little more work, but I believe there is a big payoff for the profession and for the individual in the long run.
