Degree to obtain after BSN

[cctaylor88]

I am currently working as a full time RN, the hospital I work for pays for up to $3500ish per year in tuition. I was thinking I may as well advance my degree if its free right? I am a BSN currently and really have no interest in becoming an NP (other than the salary) as nursing school was a nightmare. I couldn't go through it again. What are my options, I know there is an MSN degree but what would it offer me? Management? What about earning a MBA degree? What could I do with a masters in business as an RN.

If you do not have a specific clinical career path that you want to go for then I would recommend the MBA because it has applications within and without hospital.

There is the obvious leadership positions in a hospital but there are also leadership positons outside of the hospital, like maybe you might want to manage a home health company or SNF? You can also take that degree into the medical device and pharmaceutical industry where there are a multitude of applicable positions.

If there is an MSN/MBA program that would be even better!
