Do you ever plan on leaving the bedside?

[ajaxgirl]

Just wondering if the RN's out there plan on staying at the bedside for their whole career or do you plan on one day doing something that is not "bedside" nursing?

Me?

yes, one day I pan to to something like case management. It may be soon or it may be in 10 years.

I have been an RN for 13 years.

At some point but not within the next 5 years.

As soon as I find something that has good benefits and no pay cut. I'm not yet burned out but I don't like it anymore and don't really want to wait for the inevitable burnout.
