If you want to get your MSN, but don’t know if you will be able to fit actual campus time into your work schedule, you should take a look at some of the online RN to MSN programs available. If you are an ADN/diploma RN, and the full RN to MSN program seems like too much of an investment for you right now, you may want to consider an RN to BSN program as a starting point instead.
As a rule, you should contact multiple schools during the course of your research. There are important differences between the programs in terms of cost, admissions requirements, and other characteristics, and, as with many things in life, the way to find the best Masters program for your needs is to spend some time shopping around.
