Hi,
I am about to graduate (May 2021) with a degree in Natural & Physical Science, with two minors (Global Studies & Psychology). I have been working as a CNA in preperation for PA school, and I've gotten to see how Nurses, NP's, Doctors, PA, etc. work in the med/surg setting. So, I've sort of fallen involve with the NP career. I was so ignorant about the actual duties of each role, and I sort of just picked PA.
Anyways, now I am 100% pursing a career in nursing! I'd appreciate any guidance from you all with finding a program! So, my husband and I are unable to locate, and we are currently living in Central Virginia. I am willing to travel some for the duration of the program. I'd like to participate in an online/hybrid program. I have confirmed with my manager on the med/surg floor that I can complete clinicals there. The most desirable program for me would be an online direct entry MSN. Googling almost makes me MORE confused about all the possible programs! Are there not any online direct entry MSN programs? Would it be better for me to enroll in an online direct entry accelerated BSN? (Emory has a 13 month ABSN program)
Please share any words of wisdom! Thanks!
Bailey
