im a psych rn for 4 years and recently got offered a job in ED however I was planning to go parttime and go back to grad school to get my MSN. Im not sure i'll be able to handle school and go into ED. On a side note I have no medsurg experience amd I was thinking ED would be good experince. Should I hold off on MSN or go into ED instead?

Thank you. I guess one of the things that have been running through my head is the feeling of selling myself short if I dont get a bachelors degree and what that will look on my resume. But like you said, I need experience before I can move up. How do you like working at the bedside? Have you thought about getting your BSN if you don't already have one?

I have a seat in the nursing program. I will be going into my clinicals by Spring 09 at St. Lukes College in Iowa

Hi everyone. I just got accepted into a nursing program and im feeling a mix emotions right now. Im debating if I should go an get my Associates since this is a for sure thing or wait and shoot for my BSN in Spring which I am not sure if I will get accepted:banghead: Are there any limitations as far as getting my Associates (working in ER) which is something I ultimately want to do. Also, how hard is it to get into a RN to BSN program nowadays? How long will that approximately take after I get my Associates?
