ASN to MSN

HI- I am starting nursing school in the fall. I have the option to go to a BSN program which is INTENSE or an ASN program that is less time consuming. My only concern is that I want to go on and be an NP. I've looked into a few online schools that offer ASN to MSN programs, but I am kind of confused. When a school offers a bridge program once I finish that will I have my MSN or will that just prepare me for my MSN? Money is not a factor in my decision. I just need to figure out the quickest/best way to become a NP. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    The program that your ar talking about is called "RN to MSN" meaning that you do not have a BSN. If you get into the RN to MSN program, you will take some classes that you would need for the BSN and transition into the MSN quicker. So when you get done you will graduate with a MSN and be able to sit for the NP boards. This is a great way to go to save time and also money because it's like you are getting 2 degrees in one (BSN and MSN). and I say this because you cannot take MSN( graduate classes) with out taking some BSN (undergraduate classes) first.

    I hope this helped. Good luck with everything this fall. Make a plan and stick with it. It will be so worth it. :)
