I just registered on here because of this thread! I am a 44yo nurse - graduated with BSN 2 years ago and have been working in critical care since. Also have a prior bachelor's degree. Really love research and have been considering the BSN-PhD option myself. For someone really looking at research, is this a good option? I am also curious - what happens if life interferes and that 4 year program gets interrupted for unforeseen circumstances? thanks - Angela
