My wife is an RN, just finishing up her BSN and transitioning into an MSN. Her view is that the MSN is necessary to progress. Many people in the profession are pushing for BSN to be the minimum qualification for entry-level. So, if you want to progress beyond charge-nurse, you are going to need your Masters.

Unless you are rich (or the masters is a shortcut), get your Bachelors and let your employers pay for your masters.
