Thank you for the input. I think I was just having some adjustment issues that I have figured out. I appreciate the feedback

Just had a quick question about my terminal degree. I currently work in a large surgical ICU. I want to pursue a degree as a Nurse Practitioner but I am conflicted by which degree is right for me. I want to work as an NP in an ER or large Trauma center. I was wondering what degree qualifies me for this? CRNP or FNP? I have heard that ERs prefer FNP because they can work with kids which limits the CRNP degree (unless you go pediatric CRNP which then limits your adult care abilities). Any information on this subject is greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have recently graduated with my BSN, passed boards, and now have been working as an RN since July. I have known for a long time that this field might not be for me. I was in love with my prerequisite science courses (A and P, Microbiology, pathophysiology). I stuck with nursing because it is a good field with a lot of opportunity but I don't know if I want to do bedside nursing. My question to AllNurses is: are there any non nursing masters degrees or jobs that I could pursue with a BSN without having to take more than a few extra pre requisite classes? Has anybody been in my situation? If so, do you like the career that you switched too? I really enjoy school and have no issues pursuing another degree. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
