I have a BSN in nursing (new grad) and an MBA with extensive work experience in another field (consulting, sales, international business, export). Do I need to get an MSN or can I go directly to the PhD? I am writing some articles this summer for (hopefully) inclusion into an academic journal. I am not sure of my speciality yet. I enter the MSN program in the fall but just taking some core courses. I still have time to switch or change my mind. I plan to get some nursing experience and then maybe set up a business utilizing my business and nursing skills. I love to research and write and have been told I am good at it. Any advice out there?
Thanks
