RN to MSN question

Question:

How hard is it to go do a RN to MSN transition program? More specifically how hard is it to get into one? It's one of the options I'm considering for myself. I chose not to get my BSN and just get my RN because I like the program at this school better. Now I’m trying to figure out what I should do. I already have my AA and I think going to school for another year or two for a BSN would be a waist at this point.

Answer:

I live in Canada. I'm doing a four year course, to obtain by BSN, the first two years I spend at college getting my clinical and theory classes (which I'm doing now), and the last two years I spend at Queens University, in Kingston, Ontario.
First of all, not to be mean or anything, but where I live if you don't
have you BSN by the year 2000 there will be no jobs for you

Just wondering how many of you have heard this? From what I have heard, they have been saying this for many, many years. And let me guess Patti, you are in a BSN program or have graduated from one and they are spouting this party line.

I guess by the year 2000 there will be enough nurses with BSN's to take over the jobs of those with ADN's and diploma's. Makes sense to me (sarcastic grin) and there will be no need of nurses without.
At this present time and moment I am at a diploma school, but we have to transfer to a University that offers the BSN course. Up here there is no difference between a diploma nursing school and a community college. Also in Canada we do not have ADN courses, we go from diploma, to BSN, to Masters, Doctorate, as well as your Assisted Practitioner Nurses
