I'm interested in your feedback. I have a Master's degree in Biology and am considering one of two routes: (1) either going back to school for an Associate's degree in Nursing that will allow me to take the exam, or do two semesters of prereq. (either didn't take the specific courses or they are outdated - older than 10 years) and apply for an accelerated MSN program.
With the community college route, educational expenses are less and programs are easier to get into, but I'd only have an Associate's degree in Nursing with a Master's degree in Biology. With the MSN, educational expenses are more costly and accelerated MSN programs are quite competitive to get into.
Do you think that with an Associates degree in Nursing and a Master's degree in Biology, I'd have similar opportunities for advancement compared with having the MSN?
Melmarie... your avatar - What is it a picture of? Looks like you are sitting, wearing red shoes, with a swan on your lap!
No swan! haha
its actually one of our wedding photos (I'm still a newlywed...we were married in October). The white is my dress and the red is my shoes. My husband and I were sitting on a bench overlooking the lake. :wink2:
