I also just realized that I played this in the wrong forum ? sorry!

Hey everyone! I just graduated and am a newly lisenced RN. When I finished my LVN my plan was to continue with RN school as soon as possible. However, I got too comfortable with my job and I stayed there for 5 years! When I decided to go back to RN school i told myself that as soon as I finished this I would continue with my BSN and waste no time. Yesterday I called UT Arlington to begin the process in applying to their BSN program but while speaking to the enrollment specialist I was told about their RN to MSN-FNP program (which was what I eventually wanted to do). However, I am stuck deciding what to do because I like taking things slow and having a plan for everything. The advisor told me this track would save me a little more time and money. Has anyone on here gone through this track and if so, do you recommend it? Or, should I just focus on the BSN for now? Most importantly, will I be able to work during this MSN-FNP program?

I just applied to their RN to MSN-FNP program. My initial plan was to apply for their BSN program and take it from there but my enrollment specialist advised me about their RN-MSN with FNP. However, I am concerned that I might have taken a big step. I like taking things slow and making sure I do things right without stressing too much about it. I just graduated as an RN and was lisenced about a week ago. I am still looking for a job and I feel that maybe I should just work on my BSN for now. Since I would like to work full time. What are your thoughts?
