Wants "easy" MSN program

How do you plan to use your MSN post-retirement? I am not being cranky. I would be happy to make recommendations when I know your interest areas. I  retired in 2017 but am taking a lot of courses that deal with history, especially in Tudor fashion. In a nursing program I never got to choose elective courses I liked. We were dependant with taking what was available in the evening - since day clinicals took all the week day time, ended up with a psych minor. I always wanted to take history courses. I took one in my MSN, besides the history of nursing education.  I am currently in a course provided by the Victoria and Albert Museum (London) and am registerned for a course at the University of London at the end of October.. 

I thought about going back to get my Phd. but really did not know how I would apply what I learned. I am so much happier with taking courses based on my personal interests. How you find what you like!

londonflo - your name is the dead give-away! I may have said this somewhere, but I am an Anglophile. Particularly, Elizabeth 1 and most esp,her cousin, Mary. I'm just gorging myself on Youtube histories, esp the ones by author Lindsay Holiday. I can just watch for hours. And I do.

To the OP - I'm sorry I can't help, but the School Nurses site does have multiple Master's prepared nurses who'd be very willing to be helpful. I just see the cost as impacting tremendously for such a short opp'ty for it to be worthwhile. I understand the desire for education for education' sake but the MSN would just be too specific as I see it.

Thank you! Now I have a new name to follow on Youtube!  This morning I watched a virtual conference put on by "Medieval Dress and Textile Society."  2 weeks ago was 'Tudor-Con (which used to be the Tudor Summit)'. Because of Covid, everything is on-line. When we are back to normal, I hope the virtual education opportunities continue! Happy Tudoring amoLucia!

I think OP wants the MSN to boost her pension- some schools operate that way I think. Right? 

OP: www.wgu.edu 

Not easy academically- but easy in terms of plenty of support and maximum flexibility

Oh, now I get it. Didn't think about that. 

Op does it have to be an MSN? Does a Master's work or even some credits in denominations like 15, 30 45. I had my MSN but boosted my pay and pension during my 18 years with some Master's in Education/post graduate courses. Got up to MSN plus 45 graduate credits plus I could pay in cash/no loans. The format is now all online now.

I had to get approval ahead of time for all courses but I would think  graduate level  courses on ADHD behavior, drugs and alcohol problems in families would relate to your school nurse position. 

I would look at state schools that offer online option.  That is what I did and my time on campus was very limited and the tuition was reasonable.  I did have to find my own clinical sites.  I think that the education and administration options were easiest, compared to the clinial options (NP or Clinical Nurse Specialist).
