Hey, so did you end up getting the BSN/MSN? I hold a phd in sociology from an ivy but I specialized in a niche field. I ended up not pursuing academia very seriously after getting a few interviews for faculty jobs. And because I have always been interested in nursing, I am thinking about getting an entry level master's in nursing at U of Arizona where my husband will be a postdoc. The tuition cost would be low. But I am planning to get into nursing to work as a nurse. I work as a public school teacher now so teaching and researching may be something down the road for me, expect the proliferation of nursing PhDs may make that tough in 10 years.
