My degree did get me the job I have now and has been worth it but now my employer is requiring me to get my MSN so back to school I go. It was negatively viewed on one job interview I had also. No one has heard of this school where I am from (Wisconsin). The one negative is I am embarrassed when people asked where I got my BSN. I graduated with a 4.0 and did not have any clinicals.
