Posted almost 3 years ago Hi all, I'm comsidering an ADN-MSN program. I wanted to know are there any restrictions for choosing this route? I want to become a CRNA and I see where programs say BSN minimum, so I would like to assume that my MSN would work...HOWEVER I know what is said about assuming? :) Basically does anyone know of ANY restrictions a nurse would have to face (education/career) due to choosing an ADN-MSN pathway?

| Posted almost 3 years ago I actually have done some research on this at Florida Atlantic University. They have a RN-BSN and a RN-MSN programs. When I read into the RN-MSN program it mentioned it takes longer then the BSN-MSN program because you earn your BSN and your MSN and upon graduation you actually receive both degrees. So I would suggest checking into the school that your looking at to see what exactly their RN-MSN program is. |

| Posted almost 3 years ago That is a really good question. I think a lot of people would be asking how can you get a MSN without a BSN but as you see you can but how does that affect a nurse in the practical world is really your question. Wish I had an answer. |

| Posted almost 3 years ago Hi Guys, Maybe I can shred some light on your question as I have a BS degree am in the MSN portion of the RN to MSN degree. I had to complete course work that the BSN student would complete but because I didn't get a second bachelor's I am not qualified for the "BSN" however, I couldn't get into the program without the coursework. On my apps, I put the info in the area by my section for school - "Completed BSN course work May 2009 and people have been fine with it. What is your specific concern? |
...the school Im looking into does not award the BSN in their program which in turm lies my concern. If I have a MSN but no BSN does that hurt me at all?
