to Pursue a 2nd MSN or Post MSN certificate

Published

I have a MSN in education and recently decided I want to pursue NP.

However, I don't want to pay out of pocket and wanting my employer to finance this goal. With that said, the school affiliated with my employer does not offer a post masters FNP for California--- and to pursue one locally is about 40-60K

However, affiliated schools do offer a MSN in FNP that I can do and would be financed.

Would it be smart to purse a second's masters in FNP and have my employer finance 75%?  or would I be wasting my time and go with at post masters FNP certificate?

 

Looking for much advise and recommendations!

I did two post-MSN certificates. I would not repeat an entire MSN if I were you. You have to decide though

Which MSN do you initially have?

 

Only reason why I would do another MSN is due to financial reasons. Which is why I'm so torn when I know I could just do a post cert

Why not ask the school and employer to pay for an  post FNP certification program instead of starting from the 'ground up' .
