Hey, well this would be my first post here so i hope i can get some help. To tell you a little about me: I am a Junior in High school and i am looking forward to a nursing career in the near future. I absolutley love being around the hospital and enjoy every asspect of what it has to offer. I voulnteer about 5 hrs on mon, wed, thurs in the ER as well as the ICU. SO my question is that i want to be a nurse and get a BSN degree, but i also want more than that. I was thinking for going from a BSN to a masters degree. Is that the right way to go? Well the reason why i ask is that i know a nurse manager at the hospital i volunteer at i would love:D to have a job like that. She has a BSN and a masters... Oh and if yo could also enlighten me on what an NP is......
