Becoming a Nurse

Hello everyone, I am new here and have a question about becoming a nurse. I have a Bachelors of Science in Psychology (I thought I was going to go into Human Resources), however I now would really like to become a nurse, but since I already have a bachelors degree I am interested in getting a masters not another bachelors.

Does anyone have any advice for how to go about getting into an MSN program or combined program with a non-nursing bachelors degree? There are programs that take you from RN-MSN, does anyone know about hospital diploma RN programs so I could be getting experience while becoming an RN?

I am also interested in getting into one of those MSN combined with MBA programs. I spent most of my bachelors concentrating on business related psychology, law, and administration and would like to continue that as well.

Thanks for any help you could give me.

University of San Diego has an entry level MSN & i know they also have an MSN/MBA program, not sure if the entry level also has an option for the MBA as well. i'd go to allnursingschools.com & do a search for entry level masters programs.

I just graduated with a Bachelor's in Nursing from University of Maryland. They have a Master's program for people with Bachelors in another field, called Clinical Nurse Leader. Basically, they give you the same nursing classes as the Bachelor's program and add a few classes related to being a clinical nurse leader, and they award you a Masters. You would wind up being a floor nurse for awhile just like someone who had a Bachelors in Nursing but with some experience if there were a promotion you would have a better chance of getting it over someone who only had the Bachelors. Here is a link to the page:

Good Luck!
