Is an admin MSN to raise GPA a waste of time?

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

I have a bad track record for my prereq years before nursing school (the kind that will make you wonder how I got in), but once I started patient care, I improved greatly. For this most recent year now, while many of my classmates are struggling with BSN school, I am acing mostly eveything. I have recently fallen in love with anesthesia and am determined to become a CRNA (I have shadowed a few and know this is what I want to do). The question now is just what route to take. I will probably graduate with just under a 3.5 because of my earlier experience.

I have two ideas in mind. Would it be a waste of time to get an MSN in administration (I know it is unrelated but it is a second interest of mine and was thinking this may be a way to increase my GPA and be a possible back-up career).

OR should I just retake my old sciences to ace them + grad level pharm and pathophys and spend my days working on ICU experience/ CCRN etc. I have a good handful of years before I apply because I also plan on popping out a few kids before then so I have time to work on either/ both.

Thanks for your input!
