I saw that after taking the RN to BSN, alot of students went on to get their MSN through WGU. Do you feel now like you should have just went straight for the MSN, or is it a way to start with BSN then decide with your BSN that you want to change your degree to MSN? How many classes in the BSN were not needed for the MSN. If you had it to do all over again which way would you do it?

I did RN-BSN, then BSN-MSN, and if I could do it over again, I would still do it the same way. I was able to take a few months off before starting the MSN, and since the BSN-MSN program is taking me a full 2 years, that is 2 years with a BSN that has furthered my career and opportunities. I would not be in the current leadership position I have if I hadn't had my BSN.

I graduated from the online RN-to-BSN program through WGU and, looking back, I wouldn't make any changes.
Though I surely want the MSN degree, for personal reasons I'd rather earn it at one of many regional state universities that doesn't have a massive online reputation.
