Want to become A NP but have to Go the BSN route!

[dmoorer76]

Is there any one out there who really doesn't want to be a bedside nurse but know you have to go the long route to getting your BSN in order to become a NP. Well that is my delimma. I have no desire to become a bedside nurse, but most graduate schools require you to get your BSN and have a year's experience as a RN to attain your masters. My ultimate goal is to become a FNP and open up my own clinic in the future! Any one else?

...and experience!
