Written and designed for RN to MSN students, Transitioning from RN to MSN focuses on the multitude of Masters’ prepared roles available to a transitioning student, both as a nurse practitioner and beyond. This text delves into the role of MSNs as change managers in whatever role they pursue. Nursing is a diverse, intellectually challenging, socially relevant, and personally gratifying career, but for new MSNs, the sheer number of specialties in settings ranging from hospitals to clinics to homes, can be overwhelming.
