I am currently in an RN-MSN program but I'm trying to figure out what benefit an MSN will get me and if I should just stop with my BSN? I've been toying with the idea of going for my NP but if I don't then what's the point of getting my MSN? My end goal is to definitely get away from bedside nursing, I've been a nurse for 11 years and just getting tired of the day to day bedside routine. However I'm afraid the reasons I don't like bedside will be issues I'll be dealing with as an NP and eventually hate that job as well and then all my education and hard work will have been for nothing. Anyone else in this situation or just have any advice?
