I am currently an operating room nurse (circulate and scrub). I am contemplating travel nursing as an OR nurse and also down the road surgical NP (see patients and assist in surgeries) What is the pathway for this? I was recently accepted to a masters FNP program. Would this suffice?

after doing more research, I have decided to go with the BSN route. thanks so much!

sounds good, thanks!

I would really appreciate some advice from those who are more experienced than me or currently in either of these programs!! I recently graduated with my bachelors in biology. I have the choice between attending a direct entry CNL program which would give me an MSN with a CNL and holistic nurse certification. This program is at the same school I got my bachelor's from, private Jesuit university. The other option is to get an accelerated BSN, with an MSN degree afterward. This program is set up so that in 16 months, I will receive my BSN, be expected to work for a year and then I will start the MSN portion (the traditional way). This MSN portion is already guaranteed acceptance by the way. This is a much larger public university, but has a good national ranking for nursing. Ultimately, I am very determined to pursue a further degree, such as NP, DNP or CRNA, which I have not decided yet. People have told me many pros and cons of each...such as AMSN= in only four more months, you will have a masters instead of just a bachelors ABSN=more thorough background with more options for clinical choices Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
