Hi everyone.
I am currently strongly considering going back to school for an Associates degree in Nursing.
I am currently a Dialysis PCT, and I am going on my FOURTH year! The emphasis on the time is because I certainly didn't plan on being in this position for this long. When I first started this job, I was in the final year of my MBA program. My plan was two work as a PCT for 2 years and combine that experience with my MBA to become a Facility Administrator. Here it 4 years later and I am in the same position, and I can honestly admit that I am lost.
The time I have spent in this job has not allowed me to gain much experience in another field. (B.S. in Economics, as well). But at this rate, it seems as though my experience in healthcare along with my MBA is STILL not enough to land me an opportunity in Healthcare Administration. I have NO idea what I have or am doing wrong. So now I look to get the ADN in hopes that it presents more opportunities so I can feel fulfilled as a professional and provide for my daughter.
BSN seems to be the way to go for management jobs, but at this point I'm looking for the ADN to combine with my credentials and land me a CAREER, ASAP. I welcome any and all advice, knowledge, theories, and/or answers. Especially stories that are similar.
God Bless!
