My husband is Active Duty and is planning on transfering his GI bill to me. I have two plans at this point. 1) I applied for Frontier School for midwifery (ADN-MSN bridge) and If I don't get into that 2) will be to finish my BSN online. My question is...Does anyone know if the benefits will even cover a Masters degree?

Benefits can be applied to master's degree level.. when you say 'cover' yes eligible to use it - unknown if it 'covers' the complete cost. You can do some google-fu to look up GI bill calculator.. should ask for the state your school is in, or if online (online has different reimbursement for bah and max coverage)...etc.
Best of luck - that is great the transfer is going through for you.
This is an example of a gi bill calculator.. its temporarily offline, looks like they are putting in the updates. Also go to va.gov, education / gibill and you can find answers / details there as well.. with the new gibill chp 33 2.0 gives some more coverage to online opportunities...
