I don't make six figures, but I also don't consider that a lot of money in today's economy. But whatever, **** me right? I should just keep working with miserable ***** like you because I get paid a semi-livable wage! Go nursing!

Thanks for the snarky response. Exactly the type of attitude that is widespread in this field and another reason I want to move on.

Yes you can. Likely will not be on a background check since it's been so long and dismissed.

Would love to hear more success stories (not just quit/had kids). I want to get out of this profession so badly but I can't afford to take a huge pay cut either.

I would honestly tell you not to do this. If you have a good career otherwise, I would try to stick with that and maybe volunteer or something if you want to help people. Admittedly, I have been very unhappy in this career lately, but I think nursing is a complete dead end and if I could go back in time, I would not have gone down this path myself.

Hi everyone: I'm having a rough time with this field. I have been a nurse for 7+ years and have worked in many different settings. I just got another job that I thought I would like, but I absolutely HATE it (and it's not just because I'm new, the job/benefits were complete lies from what I was promised) anyway, The more I think about it, I hate every available job in nursing. I want to quit but I don't know what else I can do with my degree/history. I'm finishing up a MSN in Leadership/Management which I hoped would open some more doors, but honestly I just don't want to do nursing at all or healthcare. Every job seems like a deadend and the pay is crappy and I'm already in one of the higher paid nursing positions out there. Has anyone done something else with their nursing background? I don't think I can keep doing this, but at the same time I have to pay my bills... help!

Hi everyone: I am currently researching getting an MSN in public health or admin and I was looking at Aspen University because it's all online and very affordable compared to a lot of other programs. Has anyone gone here? Is it a good school? I know it is CCNE accredited but not sure how it is viewed on a resume. I have zero desire to become an NP and basically view my MSN as the final step in my education (other than certifications) so I'm not sure the 'prestige' of the program really matters in my case. Any thoughts? Or experiences with similar programs?
