Thanks for the great info. I am slightly intimidated with returning to school after having graduated quite a few years ago. The sciences, especially...I have thought about this off and on for 2 years and known so many co-workers who were in an MSN program and have had a lot of encouragement from a lot of people. It is just that first step that is tough. I will have to get student loans, which I am fine with but I know that graduate loans are different than undergrad. Any experience with those? Also, how did you find the BSU science course to be? Were they really tough? Thanks for the reply :)
