Thanks for the responses. Her end plan is a nurse practitioner, but will probably work as a RN once she graduates prior to getting her NP. She is young (23) and wants to get it done as fast as possible. Her school she's looking at you have to have some experience as a nurse. She had been looking at PA schools, but they seem to be just as expensive and very competitive to get in. At least going the NP route she can work as a nurse and tackle some of the debt ahead of time.

Hi all, my daughter has a biology degree and is interested in the direct entry MSN programs. There are none in our state so she will have to go out of state. I'm a nurse myself with ADN and never had to face this type of debt she will incur. She wants to complete her schooling as fast as possible, but is it worth the return on investment?
