That is the best thing about nursing. You have many, many options. I plan to eventually leave the clinical area completely, where I would not be providing patient care at all, but I will still be working as a nurse.

What would you be doing? Research?

That is the million dollar question ;)

I'm still looking at my options right now. There are many of them out there. Research is one of them, but it is not really my thing, so I'm not looking in that direction. Case management would be another non-clinical option, as would telephone triage, education, advanced practice, administration, etc.

I guess a nurse can never say that they're bored!

Well, I'd just like to thank everyone that's responded. You've all been very helpful. :)
