I have seen a lot of people who take issue with nurses who graduate a BSN program and then leap right into a NP program, becoming NPs without having ever done patient care.
There are two programs in Chicago that are direct entry MSNs for people without a background in nursing. You spend one year getting a nursing BSN, and then you can work part time toward becoming a nurse practitioner. I have considered doing this in psychiatry. What do you think of such a program?
