Need advice on a Master's degree CNS

[kailazaga]

Hi,

I've been reading this sub-forum for a few days now and appreciate the advice given to fellow nurses here. I'm hoping that you could assist me on a career path/education that I want to take. I have an RN Bachelor's Degree and looking into getting a Master's Degree majoring in health management and Clinical Nurse Specialist. I'm very interested to get into this program however I have some apprehensions if this is a practical route for me. Others have advised me to take NP instead because there are more (job) opportunities and can include CNS roles. Would appreciate your advice on the career opportunities for CNS. Are they limited to acute care setting only?

Thanks.
