If YOU were in your 40s & burnt to a crisp on nursing, and someone else was paying for you to go to grad school, what would you study? NOT nursing related. Healthcare related.....okay.....just not nursing related. Curious to read responses. 0 Likes

TheCommuter, BSN, RN Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych. Has 16 years experience. 226 Articles; 27,608 Posts Feb 10, 2015 I am very interested in completing an MS degree in human resource development. Either that, or I would earn an MBA with a specialization in human resource development. I would rather pursue an educational path that would enable me to minimize or eliminate face-time with patients and family members. 0 Likes

featherzRN, MSN Specializes in Outpatient/Clinic, ClinDoc. Has 30 years experience. 1,012 Posts Feb 10, 2015 I'm doing an MBA in Healthcare admin, starting in March. I don't see anything interesting in the future for me (also in my 40's) that I'd use an MSN for - at least an MBA might help me in unrelated ways - and I just find the subject material more interesting. 0 Likes
