Hello everyone,
I love reading threads on this site! I am currently going crazy trying to figure out what MSN degree is right for me and would greatly appreciate your insights.
I have been a nurse, BSN for 2 years working in a busy OB unit. We have Mother/Baby, NB nursery admissions & Antepartum. I also work in NICU Progressive when needed. I know that it's time for me to get a higher education. I love what I do but something is missing. With high patient loads, tasks & excessive charting, I don't have enough time to teach my patients which is the favorite part of my routine. I enjoy working with students, helping floats & other staffs with charting & tasks. I am always looking up protocols & ensuring I practice by guidelines. Therefore, I am thinking that MSN in Ed might be right for me.
My concerns are: with just 2 yrs of exp, am I ready for grad school? Would I have enough exp. to teach OB? What are my chances of getting a FT job considering my level of experience. I considered the Women's Health NP Program but am not sure if this is right for me. I see myself being a teacher where I can be off on nights, week-ends & holidays so that I can be with my family.
Thank you in advance for your time!
