MSN/MBA duel degree vs. PNP/FNP

[ahsftbll1]

I know it all depends on what you want to do but I need to know what is out there for both degrees so I can really decide what I want to do. Also either way I am looking at minimum of 2 years of schooling and am concerned about job opportunities in both. If anyone can help I desperatley need to figure out what I want to do so I can get on the right track before I lose my nerve.

You would need to look at your eventual goal. If you have a BSN, I would at least start working as a nurse.

Do you want to be a practitioner or do you want to be a nurse leader? Either way, getting your feet wet is the best way to gauge that.

With an MBA, you would have many other options than that of an NP as far as the business end of things. Look at where NP's are utilized in your area, and if this is something you would like to do. If NP's aren't widely utilized, then that is to be taken into consideration.

Best wishes!
