I just applied, but found out the BSN is not included in the MSN-E Program. Does that mean if I get accepted, I have to go backward to get the BSN at a later date? I spoke to an RN yesterday that said indeed, I would have to do that! Anybody else worried about that?
I'm not worried. I've talked to RNs and NPs & they have said that since I hold my BS in a related field as long as I have my RN license I do not need to go back to get my BSN. Plus, the MSN is higher than the BSN so they prefer that.
Thanks, the RN made it seem like the BSN is preferred over the MSN because they have 4 versus 2 years of time to learn nursing skills. I'm glad it's not an issue.

Hello all,
Who else is applying to the MSN Entry level 2016? I've decided to create this thread as I have not seen any new threads for 2016 start date.
