I have been a ICU nurse for 7 years and I am applying for Spring admission to an Adult NP program. I have been on the boards debating different choices and it has been a difficult decision making process! I don't know any NPs personally IRL.
Anyway, are there any NPs out there that considered themselves burned out at the bedside, but enjoy their work now as a NP? I do not enjoy bedside nursing right now. I am only "hanging in there" to complete the MSN. I feel in some ways I have never found my niche in nursing. If something were to happen and I did not go to the MSN program I would definitely leave the bedside and never look back.
Any thoughts? Experience? Advice?
