wow.... there are alot of different options.... well thank you all for your help..

so if you enter a RN-MSN program , do you come out as a NP?

Hi, I was once told that some np programs will accept RN's...I was under the impression that you had to be a BSN in order to get into a NP program.... Is anyone able to help me with my confusion.? Thanks in advance....

Hello , My name is Jimmy and I am very interested in surgery. I am wondering if there are NPs that can specialize in surgery. I know that as a PA you can specialize in surgery but I prefer the nursing route do to the fact that you have more background to fall back on (working as a RN ). However I know very little about the nursing route , until recently I have been looking only into the PA profession. I know that nuse anesthesists work in surgical settings but do they get alot of pt contact or do they primarily just work on the anesthesia and thats it? Anyway , if anyone could help me with any or all of these questions I greatly appreciate it. Thank you .
