Hello,
I am new to this forum, seeking advice on what educational route to take. I currently have a BS in Kinesiology and will be finished with my Masters in Public Health this upcoming Spring. My spouse is active duty and I am currently a stay at home mom so I don't have the freedom of going to ftf classes, at least for the next 3 years. I plan to go back to work within the next 4-5 years but until then I would like to explore online opportunities that would advance my education, my ultimate goal is DNP. Neither of my current degrees are in nursing so I am unsure what route to take, BSN or direct MSN? If anyone knows of any direct entry online BSN and/or Msn programs I would greatly appreciate any help and advice.
Thank you!
HouTx, BSN, MSN, EdD

I think you may be searching for a unicorn... You cannot become a nurse without hands-on clinical training with actual patients. There are some "mostly online" programs, but they still require clinical training with a qualified instructor.
