I graduated last August with a Bachelor's in Health Care Adminsitration. Upon graduation and after a hundred job applications, I have been working for a large hospital as a secretary for one year. I now realize that I want to be in direct patient care and am looking into Accelerated MSN programs for students that have a Bachelor's degree in something other than nursing. The first 3 semesters will be catch up, and upon completion I will have the equivalent of a BSN. Then I have to complete 3-5 more semesters to get a MSN, depending on the course of study. What do you all think?
