How to prepare for MSN program right after finishing RN program?

[natuRN]

Hi!

I am working on an RN program and I am expected to graduate within a year an half. I would like to jump in an MSN (hopefully FNP) right after I am done with the license exam. I wanted to see if there is anything I need to prep for, classes I need to take (I know it's a general question) - but any info can help!

I already have a BSc in biological sciences, and went back to become a nurse. I am in TX but willing to move anywhere if I find a program I like.

Thanks!

Personally, I think it helps you tremendously to work as an RN for a couple years first. Because the 'N' in FNP means 'nurse'.
