RN to MSN Degrees
Registered nurses (RNs) who wish to advance into managerial or supervisory roles often return to school to pursue their Bachelor of Science in nursing degrees. The BSN degree prepares nurses for professional duties above and beyond the providing of day-to-day patient care by providing education in nursing science and research, as well as in leadership and administrative skills.
Registered nurses aspiring to work in advanced nursing practice as nurse practitioners or nurse administrators or in specialty areas such as nurse midwife or nurse anesthetist must earn an additional degree, the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). At the graduate level, the nursing student may choose to focus on an area such as family practice, adult care, geriatrics, acute care, neonatal nursing, pediatric nursing or women's health, or may prepare for a career as a nurse educator.
Although most students enter the MSN program after they have already earned their BSN degrees, RNs on the fast track to advanced work may choose to enroll in a direct entry BSN to MSN program that usually takes about 5 years to complete. An RN with a bachelor's degree in a discipline other than nursing may also enter the MSN program directly, without first completing a BSN.
