EC Grads who already have BS...

Did you go on to get your BSN or did you do a bridge program to MSN? I have a BS in Resp Care so I would rather do a masters program, but I know a lot of employers prefer the BSN to hire. I don't plan on going for a masters for awhile (until I know what I want to focus on), but I'm not sure if I should look into a BSN program first. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Meg,

I am also a RT with a BS and I am not going to go for my BSN. I am bridging at the school I received my resp degree from for a MSN in education. It is only 34 credits and will take me 2yrs to finish.

I found out by mail yesterday I was accepted into the program. It is online with a special federal grant that will pay for up to 85% of the educational costs. It is a sweet deal. Plus, I really like this school and they are bending over backwards to get me in. I guess they like their alumni. :o)

If you want more info, I would be happy to assist you. I know once you obtain a MSN, you can cross over to other fields of nursing for certifications at minimal credits needed.
