2. Considering an MSN-ED

   darrarizer replied to darrarizer's topic in Educators

   So, to be clear, my background is as a nurse circulator in the OR, in outpatient chemotherapy infusion, and as of now I do telehealth. Do you think that working telehealth will hurt my chances of getting a job as a nurse educator (preferably online)...

   Wow, that was biased. I am a high-school dropout who got my GED because I was sick of getting beaten at home & honestly, i've found that very few people at my work act like this, but the 2/50 who do have their BSN. I feel that if you are a "low...
