Which degree is best?

I am posting this in hopes of hearing some feed back on which degree is best to pursue for a masters in nursing. I am currently in emergency room nurse with a BSN. Prior to this I worked on a telemetry/trauma unit and prior to that I supervised in a nursing home/rehab. I have been thinking about going back for my masters for quite some time now. For a while I was set on going back for education in order to be able to teach new nurses while still being able to work in the ED with patient care; however more recently I have been questioning if teaching is the right route to take or if NP or a business aspect would be better to pursue. Obviously I know the choice is mine and it has to be something I am interested in and wish to pursue but I would appreciate any feedback that anyone can offer to assist me with this decision. Thank you.

What do you plan on doing with your Masters when you get it? What are your interests? and which country do you plan on working in?

Well that's my problem. I can see myself education new nurses but I can also see myself in a manager position. At this point, being able to see myself in both situations I am questioning which is best to pursue for reasons other than interest.
