Many hospitals, after you e shown them you're a good worker, will pay for advanced degrees.

My neice is a nurse in CA and the hospital paid for her master's degree.

Only requires two years of school to get a RN (registered nurse) Associates degree, as well. More money, wider choice of fields to work and greater advancement potential than a LPN.

Daughter is a RN with masters degree.

Was she able to get her masters without her BSN?


No, she started with a ADN, then a BSN and now has a MSN.

From what I've read, though, it is possible to earn a MSN degree without having a BSN.
