Have BSN thinking about the Master program

I have my BSN and was wondering what the benefits would be if I was to pursue my Masters? I have not looked into it much but am wanting to know how it can aid in my nursing and what types of careers fall under this category.
Thanks
Nursing Director, Nursing Practitioner... endless opportunities
You could have a larger scope of practice as a mid-level provider, such as a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM), Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), or a Nurse Practitioner. Some advanced practice nurses can prescribe medications. There are also Clinical Nurse Leaders, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and Nurse Educators.
I know that I could find out this information if I looked, but I thought I'd just ask since it's at my fingertips. So, in order to be a clinical psychiatric nurse do you know if a Masters degree is required first or would both specialties be done at the same time?Thank you for your time, I do appreciate it
You can be a psychiatric nurse if you are an RN and work in a psych setting. However, if you want to be a psychiatric nurse practitioner, you can become one through a master's degree program. I don't know if I fully answered your question - let me know if it is not clear.

Yes, I think that is correct - like if you wanted to be a Clinical Nurse Specialist or a Nurse Practitioner in Psychiatric Nursing. Just wanted to state that if you wanted to work in a psych facility as a nurse (but not specialize per se), you do not need a master's degree.
