This text delves into the role of MSNs as change managers in whatever career path they pursue. Nursing is a diverse, intellectually challenging, socially relevant, and personally gratifying career, but for new MSNs, the sheer number of specialties, in settings ranging from hospitals to clinics to homes, can be overwhelming.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransitioning From RN to MSN\u003c/i\u003e examines both direct care roles (e.g., clinical nurse leader, nurse educator) and indirect care roles (e.g., public health nurse, informaticist, clinical researcher, coordinator, nurse administrator), as well as emerging areas. Step by step, chapters address the key concepts of role transition including preparation for a particular role, as well as ethical practice, theory application, quality control, and terminal degree options. Each career discussion features required competencies and information new MSNs will find invaluable, all within a consistent format to aid comparison. Chapter objectives, critical-thinking questions, and case studies engage students with the information presented and facilitate comprehension.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWritten specifically as a core text for required courses in RN-to-MSN programs\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAddresses in depth the requisite competencies for role transition\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncorporates AACN, NLN, IOM, and QSEN competencies throughout\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDescribes a great variety of MSN role options in addition to APN roles\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes chapter objectives, abundant case studies and critical thinking questions\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides instructorâs ancillaries, including an instructorâs manual and PowerPoint slides\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e
