BSN to MSN online

[NursingStudent2012]

Hello!

I know there have been many threads on here regarding BSN to MSN programs online. My question is, are there any BSN to MSN online programs that allow you to take some classes while you're getting your BSN? I'm currently in a BSN program and have no classes to take during the summer time. Instead of doing nothing but work that summer, I'd like to get ahead on my MSN even if it is only 1 class during the summer. I understand that there are prerequisites before taking certain classes, and therefore most MSN classes I cannot take until after I receive my BSN, but am curious to know if there are classes I can start now. For example, I finished my Pathology class last semester, so would that allow me to take a Pathology class required for my MSN? Also, before being accepted into the BSN program I am currently enrolled in, Ethics and Pathology were classes available for anyone to take prior to acceptance. If any of you are familiar with this, please enlighten me! Thanks!

i dont know much about MSN yet as i'm still working on my BSN, but could you take some nursing elective courses? Seems like all the MSN programs i've looked into still had room for electives?

That's what I was wondering, but the schools I've looked into do not list any elective courses ....they are all nursing courses. I should probably ask my instructors since they all have at least their MSNs....

Does your school have a MSN program? I noticed that some schools that have both programs, will allow you to take some MSN classes. They will be counted for both programs, inquire at your school.
