Question about Masters/Traveling/Army

Nurses Career Support

Published

So I am currently in a nursing program and when I graduate I will have a BSN RN. I want to become a nurse practitioner. However, I will most likely be married to my bf living on an army base about 2 months after I graduate from getting my BSN.

I was wondering about how much it costs on avereage for just two years of college to get my masters at grad school.

Also, do you think I could do those years on an online college-would that be credible?

And my last question is if we had to move about every year to another base-what should I do about my career?

Would being a travel nurse be a good option? I don't know how many hospitals throughout the USA there are available to pick from so I could find one close enough to the base I was living at. Or, do you guys think that I should just find a new job at a diff hospital on my own every year at different bases?

Sorry for so many questions all at once but I've been coming up with them for a while and I just joined the site. Thank-you so much for helping me!!

I'm not entirely sure how much an MSN costs on average---if I had to guess I would say $30,000 to $50,000. And there are online MSN programs, but I'm not sure which ones are good and which ones aren't.

You can go over to the student forums and check out the graduate student threads for more info.
