English to Nursing?

My first post!!

Anywho, I will graduate with my bachelor's in English in the spring. I don't want to teach or write; I just like English. I would like to pursue nursing because I have always been interested in it (I come from a long line of nurses). My gpa isn't a shining example of what I can do. I was wondering, would it be worth my while to get my ADN and then go to an MSN program. I am really iterested in becoming a nurse practicioner. I know that there are entry level programs, but I don't want to have to be poor for the rest of my life (I have loans). I have a couple of pre-reqs completed (or will be).

Any advice-I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,

Mo*

:) welcome to the site and best wishes to you! :balloons:

HEY!!!! Welcome!!! I am also an "ENGLISH to NURSING" hopeful! I will graduate in MAY with a BA in English and I hope to be in a direct entry program for 2006. I applied to three schools so far and at one of them the only pre-req was STATISTICS!!! The others only had a few that I didn't have as an English student (like anatomy and physiology) so the pre-req's really weren't too bad!

If you are sure about becoming a NP I would definately do direct entry because it's faster!

I also got my BA in English. I am now taking pre-reqs so that I can attend an accelerated BSN program. I say go for the BSN - more opportunitues. I know that there are some direct RN-MSN programs, but I think it helps to have the BSN.

You mean the BSN *before* getting the MSN??? To my knowledge, you can't be a NP (which is what her goal is) with a BSN, you must have a MSN, no?

I believe she was referring to getting a BSN instead of ADN before going on for her masters... i.e. there are more traditional MSN programs than RN-to-MSN. Of course that would probably depend on the area.

Oh ok!! That makes sense, then I agree with you, cjog!

Thanks for the clarification arciedee!
