Difference between MN and MSN

Hi everyone,

Is there any difference between MN (Master of Nursing) and

MSN (Master of Science in Nursing)? If you could elaborate

on these degrees, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

no diffre , just university make prog name .

It is DEFINITELY different at Mt. Saint Joseph University at Cincinnati Ohio:

http://www.msj.edu/view/academics/graduate-programs/nursing_2.aspx

here' it clearly states: "What the MN degree program is not:

-A program that prepares the nurse for advanced practice positions, such as a clinical nurse specialist, or a nurse practitioner

-A Master of Science in Nursing degree"

SO they're definition of MN does not equal a MASTERS of science in nursing in which you get to be an NP or clinical nurse specialist.

Uhm, you're posting in the CANADIAN forum discussing a CANADIAN education.

Different nation, different requirements!
