So, while you\u2019re thinking about continuing your education, Goodwin College is here to ease some of those woes about change. In fact, crossing the bridge from your Bachelor\u2019s of Science in Nursing (BSN) to your Master\u2019s Degree in Nursing (MSN) doesn\u2019t have to be challenging at all! With a little research and planning, the next step in your career can be taken with confidence. For nurse practitioners seeking to cross the MSN bridge, here are three major tips for success!<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.) <\/strong><strong>Goal setting<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> This is our top tip for success in crossing the MSN bridge, and you\u2019ve probably already started on it! The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msn\/career-outcomes\">career outcomes<\/a> from an MSN are varied, but you\u2019re likely here because you\u2019ve already been picturing the bright possibilities for your future in nursing:<\/p>\n<p>After working with children, you\u2019ve realized you love pediatrics, or after assisting the elderly, maybe it\u2019s geriatrics. Perhaps helping patients with mental or physical disabilities interests you most. Or, maybe you like providing immediate relief and responding quickly within acute care. Obtaining your MSN degree can help you to develop the skills to succeed in a more specific role within your specialization of choice, such as midwifery, critical care, family practice, gerontology, or anesthesiology.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of your specified interest, choosing to set out on the bridge from your BSN to your MSN gives you the competitive edge necessary for the roles that are most in-demand. It also opens the door for increased autonomy in the workplace, and gives you a higher salary potential. As <a href=\"http:\/\/nursinglink.monster.com\/education\/articles\/22045-5-reasons-to-get-a-msn?page=1\">NursingLink<\/a> explains, the MSN is truly the nursing degree of the future, with healthcare so quickly evolving. And, with online programs like the one offered by Goodwin College, it\u2019s never been easier to advance your nursing education. So, set out on this path by deeply considering what it is that you love most about nursing, and let us help you conquer the necessary training!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) <\/strong><strong>Applying<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Once you realize how simple it is to apply, this part of the process becomes much less daunting. As part of our commitment to forwarding the careers of nurses who already have some experience, Goodwin College does not require GRE test scores for admission. We think that nurses should be rewarded by jumping right into their career after obtaining their BSN, not faulted! Students <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msn\/admission-requirements\">applying to the MSN program<\/a> must already have achieved their bachelor\u2019s degree, and must be fully licensed RN\u2019s. Requirements aside, here is a check-list of the rest of the preparations you\u2019ll need to make in order to apply:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complete your graduate application online<\/li>\n<li>Pay $50 for the application fee (non-refundable, but free for Goodwin College Bachelor\u2019s degree graduates!)<\/li>\n<li>Submit your official transcript<\/li>\n<li>Provide a professional resum\u00e9<\/li>\n<li>Show proof that you\u2019ve been immunized<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to write an 800-1000-word statement regarding your nursing career goals. This should be easy, since you have already put some thought into your future by researching an MSN bridge program. Additionally, you will need to have achieved three credits and a \u2018C\u2019 or better from a college-level statistics or a higher research course. Lastly, you\u2019ll need to show that you\u2019ve been working as nurse for at least two years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.) <\/strong><strong>Excel in an online program!<\/strong> Studying online is truly the marker of a scholastic shift. The internet has completely changed the way that we approach education, and in fact, millions of people earn college degrees every year without ever stepping onto a real-life, traditional college campus. No longer do you have to sacrifice your career for higher education. No longer do you have to pick up and live somewhere else, or put a hold on your life, for college classes! With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msn\/flexibility\">flexible<\/a> online programs like Goodwin College\u2019s MSN, you can remain a working nurse, and simultaneously achieve your Master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>Now, of course it sounds a little easier in theory than in practice, but by establishing a routine, good study habits, and a comfortable working environment, you should be prepared to excel in an online MSN program. Some helpful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/online-education\/articles\/2013\/01\/14\/5-tips-to-succeed-in-an-online-course\">online learning tips<\/a> from U.S. News include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure you understand the technology you\u2019ll be using prior to class \u2013 so that you can troubleshoot any computer issues before they occur.<\/li>\n<li>Connect with your professors personally.<\/li>\n<li>Developing and dedicate yourself to a study schedule that makes sense for you alongside the other commitments in your life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With Goodwin\u2019s MSN, you can complete your degree requirements in as few as 20 months, even when working part-time. The bridge from your BSN to MSN can be just that simple.<\/p>\n<p>With some preparation and dedication, MSN success can happen for you. You\u2019ve made it so far by achieving your BSN degree. Aren\u2019t you curious how far you can push your professional growth in nursing?
