So, I have a BA in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. I am very interested in nursing and have been looking into MEPN programs. As I understand it the first year is to become an RN. The following (two) years are to specialize and get a Masters Degree. I am interested in Critical Care and Trauma, as I have been working on this path, except in EMS. I am curious about some differing opinions of the MEPN programs and where most people are going upon completing these? Do you come out of it working as an RN or a CNS (Can anyone further clarify the difference). Is it harder to find work than if you were to complete just an RN program? Some of my questions come from a bit of information I found that seemed rather negative towards MEPN programs because of the accelerated nature of them and not providing or having enough experience... Thoughts, Comments, Concerns? Thank you!
