Info on direct entry w/MSN + BSN?

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hi everyone, I am trying to find a list of universities which have an entry level Master's program, but also include a BSN (vs. the RN) for those who have a bachelor's degree in another field.

If anyone out there has any info regarding this entry BSN and MSN programs for non-RN's with bachelor's, I'd love to hear who offers this out there, anywhere! Thanks!!!

Columbia DOES offer the BSN before MSN.

Yale does NOT offer the BSN before MSN.

Vanderbilt does NOT.

I'm in a program that offers RN-MSN and we're not required to take a year off between RN and MSN, but many students do. Even though we "only" get the RN, nobody has any trouble finding jobs. Two months into the program, we are already being wooed by hospitals.

It might be a regional thing (I'm in CA), but in our case the RN/BSN distinction is not important to finding work.
