After observing many RN's go for there NP degree's I have noted that many still work as a RN on thier previous unit. One practioner I know completely quit her NP job and continued working as an ICU nurse. Why go though all that schooling and training to just end up where you were in the first place? Do you seriously need to work two jobs after obtaining your Master's degree? Why would you set yourself up with liability issues working in a RN capacity with the knowledge of a NP?
