I was wondering, what kind of jobs are available for those with MSN but no post-masters certificate; any hospital jobs? Jobs that require a masters degree...
thanks.

THat would depend on the concentration of the MSN degree (what the "major" was).

In my organization, ALL jobs from Nursing Director and higher require a minimum of MSN. Nurse Educator jobs are all 'MSN preferred'. We also employ CNS and NPs who, of course require those specific credentials. However, at this point, job qualifications for the other jobs are more focused on specialty certification than the type of MSN - ex: ICU Director should also have CCRN certification.
So basically no job for MSN ONLY with out the concentration/certification? I don't think there's MSN programs without the concentration anymore.. ??
