I have a BA in Graphic Design, but want to go into Nursing. Do I go into an Undergraduate or Masters program?

Some institutions offer an MSN for students with no previous academic background in nursing, and the programs are usually designed to prepare students for more administrative healthcare roles. Going straight into an MSN is probably going to be a quicker route for you than doing a second bachelor's degree. However, the non-nursing MSN programs are quite long themselves.

Pick out a handful of schools that look interesting to you and compare their BSN and MSN programs in terms of mission and admission requirements. They're generally so different in terms of the career for which they prepare you that you'll probably know right away which one is right for you.
