Wk 6: Nur 6002 Response To Discussion

RE: Discussion - Week 6Kelly Plange The benefits of obtaining an MSN include better pat, better working hours, extended career options, greater knowledge skills, and the reward of helping other individuals and society. The traditional method of obtaining an MSN degree is completing a bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN). People can also earn an MSN by transiting from registered nurse to MSN without having a bachelor’s degree because one can be licensed as a registered nurse after earning an associate degree. Your interest in psychiatric nursing is similar to mine. Although I have not worked as a mental health nurse I am an advocate for those who are suffering from drug and stress induced mental and behavioral conditions.There is compelling need to increase the number of psychiatric nurses, for example in Virginia over three quarters of localities are designated as having a shortage in mental health professional. This means about 40% of the residents of Virginia have difficulty in access to mental health care CITATION Vir20 \l 7177 (Virgina Health Care Foundation, 2020).
