MSN in Leadership, but considering career changes

Nurses Career Support

I'm a house supervisor RN finishing up an MSN in Leadership and Administration. I was wondering what doors that may open up for me, but also, being completely honest... at times I am curious what this Masters may be able to do for me outside of nursing or possibly even healthcare as well and would be interested in any feedback. I've become a bit disgruntled with the constant cutbacks, staffing shortages, unsafe ratios, and constant criticism from pencil pushers who have never done a moment of patient care. This isn't retail, peoples lives are on the line and families are shattered due to trying to maximize profit margins. I'm struggling ethically here, and am not sure what to do, so I am considering all angles. Thanks.

Hi,

I hate that no one responded to this.. as I am curious about this as well. Almost done with MSN in Leadership, but now I'm second guessing the decision. What did you decide to do? Did you find any other options?

WOW! leadership well it qualifies you to apply and work in management! You can advocate for your nurses, convince them other pencil pushers that’s it is in their best interest to get nurses what they need. Uhm how to do that that I don’t know I just know my ADN has a leadership MSN and that’s what she does for us. Wishing you the best of luck! keep us updated
