I went to Queensborough Community College, graduated a year ago, and passed my boards 6 months ago.
Now my best friend and I are looking to continue schooling and get our BSN to MSN.
We are looking in to programs. We are pretty sure we want an online school , because we're both working full time and have kids.
Any recommendations from anyone out there, who has actually upgraded their schooling?

What's the advantage of having an MSN as opposed to an NP? I'm in an accelerated bachelor's program now, and I'd like to advance my education at some point, but what opportunities do you have with an MSN alone?

NP, which is usually an MSN title (though it is becoming a PhD title), is a clinical role. NP is for a Practitioner. The focus in most of the coursework is on clinical applications. One may also get, for example and by contrast, an MSN in Nursing Education or Managment, etc. Those degrees are oriented towards different functions, outside the clinical settings.
If you want to teach in the classroom, an NP isn't necessarily very useful; but an MSN with a concentration in Education would be. If you want to work in administration or policy research, and NP isn't very useful; but the appropriate MSN or MPH concentration would be. At one time, nurse managers got graduate level business degrees; now there are MSN concentrations that cover it.

How does one go about deciding on a RN to BSN program? How do you tell the difference between them - other than cost?

Welcome to the forum, ntinarn! If the programs being considered are from a reputable school, then it hardly matters. Most employers and graduate schools don't care all that much where the BSN is from, as long as it is legit. Personally, I would look for (if it exists!) a program that doesn't have as much management-oriented courses. Those are the courses most of my classmates hated and found largely a waste of time. Impossible to avoid completely, though. What makes the BSN is typically management and nursing theory, a very basic research class, and some community and public health material. Keep in mind, too, that there are perfectly good RN-to-BSN programs that are entirely distance learning. That's a good option if you're working, raising a family, marrying off children, etc.  Happy Yom HaAtzmaut! |
