Considering getting your Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) but feeling totally overwhelmed by the options? You’re not alone. In this episode, I break down what an MSN actually is (and what it isn’t), the difference between clinical and non-clinical paths, and how to choose a program that aligns with your goals, not just what seems affordable or popular. You’ll learn:
  • What an MSN really means (and why it’s not a job title)
  • The difference between clinical MSN paths (like NP and CNS) vs. non-clinical paths (like education or leadership)
  • What an APRN is, and how licensure + certification work
  • Common program formats, including direct-entry, competency-based, and post-master’s certificates
  • How to reverse-engineer your education based on the career you actually want
  • Why clarity now can save you time, money, and frustration later
