What You Can Expect from an MSN Program - Masters of Nursing

Working full time as a bedside nurse and going to school for masters program, can be intimidating. This video also goes into detail about the differences between a MSN in education, management, nursing informatics, and how these differ from the education route of a nurse practitioner. As well as what classes, expect from the students, in regard to homework.

Most definitely, we were able to do it, and so can you guys! It takes a lot of discipline despite the lack of motivation.
Great video. I’m headed to get my MSN soon , thanks for the info.
You’re awesome man! RN to BSN to Masters! Unstoppable.
Lopes Up!! In the beginning stages of pursuing my MSN @ GCU (acquired my BSN from there as well)🤗 Praying for you as you continue on your journey.

It would be helpful if you can answer my questions because I had done lot of research but still unable to find appropriate answers:- 1) Does any course named as "Masters in Science and Nursing Leadership and Management" is available in this university of Melbourne? If not, so by pursing which course, I can able to be Nurse Manager in future? 2) Does course "Master in Advance Nursing" lead me to direct certification from Nuclex ? I mean Upon completion of this course is there any need to give Nuclex exam or I'm directly certified ? 3) Does "Clinical Experience" is necessary requirement for the application of this course? If yes, so 1 year experience is enough? And does internship counts?

Hello Nurse David I am going into my 2nd year of nursing and I am really interested in CRNA nurse (certified registered nurse anaesthetist). Any tips or ideas on how I can get there?
I am dreading classes three and four. Do you have any idea of the time you spent doing the reading, assignments, and responses for those classes? I have completed the first class and I felt like I spent 12-16 hours just for the first class. It wasn't difficult content but to ensure I put in thoughtful and complete content, I felt I put in a lot of time. It sounds like from your other videos you spent a lot in those classes. Thank you for your time

I did make videos on those two classes, the work is about the same. However much time you spend in the first two is about how much you will spend in those. All I can say is, maybe you are doing too much. I feel like you can get an idea of what the instructor wants, and without doing the most you can still get 100%. Thanks for commenting!
Hi David, I am thinking about attending GCU, for MSN in leadership. I am trying to see how how long weee the papers and are they every week and do you have power poi ts also ?
Little D, Thanks for all of your videos! I’m currently an Acute Care nurse educator at my hospital. Really want to start my MSN studies but torn between NI, education and leadership! My concern w NI is trying to find a job w “no informatics experience.” I hope to start in the Spring. Do you like GCU? I’ve narrowed it down to GCU or Walden (I think).

That’s a pretty good position! Well... that is hard to say because there are only so many nursing informatics positions... I’m sure it is competitive. The beginning classes of the MSN are all similar so you have time to choose if you want to go down a different route. I went to GCU for my BSN and now my MSN. It’s been pretty straight forward and not too hard.

Great to hear your experience! I have BS and MS in mechanical engineering. Gradually over the time, I start thinking the master in nursing MSN. But it requires to take prerequisites, such as biology and Lab, microbiology and Lab, Hunan Anatomy, Human physiology, besides the Chemistry and Statistics that I took already in BS and MS degrees. Estimate min 2 years to complete the prerequisites, then to take MSN grade courses in min 2 years. Is it correct? What will be the procedure to apply the Master Nursing Program? Should complete the four prerequisites first, then to apply the MSN next? Is it hard to get accepted in CSU? Thank you!
