ADN to RN-MSN OR Direct-Entry MSN?

[OlyNP2b]

I'm a pre-nursing student ultimately seeking an advanced degree as a Nurse Practitioner. I have several options to enter into the field, so I'd like to gather the opinion of others.

I have been accepted into a Direct-Entry MSN in the area to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. My only hesitation is that I'd really like to have more time to work as an RN before deciding on an ARNP specialty. My other option is to complete my ADN, then while I'm working as an RN, working on an RN-MN degree either online or at a local college.

What path have you chosen and why? I'd really appreciate the opinions of those who gone either one of these routes. I know I'll be happy either way because I'll be a practicing nurse. I would just like the advice of those already in the trenches. Thanks!
