    RN-MSN is RN-BSN-MSN. The Bachelor degree is a requirement for the Master. I think the difference between RN-MSN and RN-BSN is that you can substitute some MSN courses for your BSN work, and get done faster overall. But you're still getting the BSN in the middle.

    There are some schools that don't officially award a BSN along the way. So the nurse never actually gets that degree. But the "idea" as bon baii described it is basically correct. A few of the courses are combined and that tends to shorten the process so that the RN-MSN route is a little shorter (and cheaper) that RN-BSN-MSN as 3 separate programs of study.

    However ... note ... When you go to a RN-MSN program that officially awards a BSN along the way, you have the option of stopping (or taking a long break) after you get that BSN. You still have the BSN even though you have not completed the full MSN degree requirements and can get jobs that require a BSN, etc. However, if you choose a program that does not award a BSN along the way and you drop out, you don't have a BSN. You must complete the whole program to advance your degree.

    Keep that in mind as you evaluate which program to choose.
