Need some help/advice

Published

I've been a RN now for a yr, working on the floor. I'll be honest I hate it. I hate the 12 hrs and I hate the schedule (no personal life at all) and I'm not crazy about the floor I work on ICU - a lot of people die and it's drawn out. I've been trying to think about which way I want to go with this career and I struggle because part of me doesn't want to put a dime towards continuing my education and then another part of me does in hopes that it'll open more doors for me.

Some friends of mine are going for their APN and idk, I thought about it.

But to be honest I don't really know much about degrees and what they allow you to work as. For instance I was looking at master degree and had no what the difference was or where each one allowed me to work. So if anyone has any info they'd like to share about degrees/certification and the types of jobs you can do with them I'd greatly appreciate it 😊

There are many nursing specialties that are straight days and don't deal deal with protracted patient deaths. If you look at the yellow banner at the top of the page you will see the 'specialties' section, the areas that are usually day shifts are; ambulatory care, infection control, occupational health, case management, diabetic educator, wound care, public health, risk management. Each specialty has a FAQ section that covers what the specialty entails and the requirements.
