What can I do with a Masters degree in Nursing besides NP/CNS?


Im an RN working in the NICU right now, and I am interested in going back to grad school to get my Masters in Nursing...not exactly sure what yet, but I don't think I want to be an NP, CNS, or Educator, MAYBE research. So what other jobs can I do with a Masters besides those? If any?

Also, I am feeling a little burn out from bedside nursing as well. Any suggestions on what I can do with a Bachelors in Nursing besides that?

You could try some work in research/clinical trials - keeps in the field you like, but not bedside. Also would give you an idea if research is the way you want to go.

As far as I know, you can get your MSN for Certified Nurse Midwife, any flavor of NP, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Nursing Education, or Academic Nursing on the path to a research PhD. I might be leaving out one or two as well.

I know what you mean, I have a MSN/MBA and working as a program manager for a program but feel I working way below my capacity.. I am looking myself.. and in fact going back to get a NP in holistic nursing to I can do something else.. its crazy out here, the higher up you go the more politics - its unbelieveable.. its not even about what you know its WHO..
