There is one more path to RN now

Want to add a reference to the Master of Nursing Degree (MN, not MSN) [[1]] that allows people with non-nursing bachelor degrees to go into nursing at the RN level without having to go the traditional route. Any opposition? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.42.16 (talk) 19:11, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References and more detail

I was pleased to find the article. We need more references, however. A few additions needed are: prerequisites for nursing school and projected nursing shortage.CynRNCynRN (talk) 23:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
