I am a 32 year old with a prior Undergrad and Masters degree in non-science related fields. I am trying to decide between pursuing an ABSN or a direct entry Masters program. Cost is not a factor, more-so time of program and being able to get into the working world. I heard that most places will start requiring a BSN, but how does that affect you if you earned an MSN (comes with an RN license but not BSN). I would be looking into the MSN one so that I can work towards a Masters while I am already in school but completely understand that I would not have the clinical experience to start off at a higher job than those with the BSN (and not MSN). Is that really the only difference, that I would just need to start at the same point as those with a BSN even though I have an MSN? Just trying to make sure that even though I will have spent 2 years working towards an MSN that I won't need to go back to school to complete an RN to BSN program just to get that "BSN" on my resume even though I'll have the advanced degree. Hard to get an answer from schools on this because they all want your money and I don't have any direct contacts within the nurse hiring system to know what they'll be looking at. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
