Nursing is not for me

Hello everyone,

A little background, I am what people refer to as an old new grad nurse. Someone who took a year or two to land a first RN position.

I remember starting out nursing school. My friend and I were practicing our nursing skills in a lab. we looked at one another and said we will never work in a bedside position. My friend quit nursing for biology and she now has a masters in public health. I on the other hand finished my BSN degree.

i now realize it was a big mistake to finish BSN. Right now I want to quit my RN position. I want to go back to university to get my masters. I have MPH in mind. Does anyone know about any other master programs to keep me as far away from nursing as possible.

    Well it's good that you realized that nursing is not for you. Mph is a great area to go into.

    I do know a couple people who quit nursing school for Public Health and are happy they did so. It's a wonderful field with a lot of versatility to it. I'm glad you've figured out another possible path to take!

    MPH and MHA (yes I lumped them) degrees are tenuous at best without proper guidance. I know many healthcare recruiters barely scrapping by with their master's in health degrees.

    Point is, grass isn't always greener. A BSN can open a lot of doors, often more so than a generic MPH or MHA.

    You raised my flag when you mentioned that bedside wasn't for you - even while still in school. Sorry but we all gotta do it. And I heard that from some of my cohorts in school - there's always that group that just want to fly right into nurse anesthetist to make that triple figure salary and think bedside is something beneath their intelligence.

    I have no interest in Nurse anesthesia.

    I just don't like nursing in general.
