That is true...but I am just hoping that by geting an MSN it would open more doors for me as I would be able to get a job in something like case management or admin jobs.

I should mention I am generally a sensitive person. I grew to dislike bedside from the bad clinical experiences I had, including the ungrateful patients & families that you try to do everything for and yet its never enough, the toxic management that drop you under the bus when they don’t need you, the other miserable nurses that backstab you even if you are just a nursing student learning…and so many other things I saw in different units! Hopefully I can get something away from bedside, more like office job, that would be something I am hoping to achieve by pursuing master...

I graduated in 2021 and the only RN experience I have was in a COVID testing center. I saw that the job market was not giving me many opportunities that I liked (specifically away from bedside) so I have been thinking of pursuing to get my master's degree! Is this something clever or plainly stupid? Do you guys think one can get a job away from the bedside just by having a master's degree?

I don't like bedside nursing, have 2-3 yrs experience in non-traditional healthcare settings (covid testing centres,…). Is it smart to get my master’s to get out of bedside? Will I find a job in those leadership roles afterward?

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate your inputs. First of all, I am a recent graduate RN (was RPN for 1.5 years) and am currently helping with the covid pts. and providing swabbing services to them. I have recently been offered a job in OR and I should first mention I don’t like nursing ? I don’t know why I chose this field but had to because I had no other choice and was afraid to never find a job in other fields because I have another bachelors and could not find a job in that. I am generally an introvert and shy person who doesn’t like social situations and avoid them as I get anxious. So, since providing covid services won’t last forever, considering my personality and me not liking nursing, do you think its wise for me to accept the OR position or turn it down? or do you think I better find another line of work altogether?

Yes I absolutely am the same way. First went to get my bachelors in science got me no and I didn't land a job. Then for the sake of safety that nursing provides in finding a job I went into nursing. Then I just found myself regretting the decision everyday and hating it more than the day before. Then I graduated from my RPN program hated my first job I got from govenrment supporting new grads. I was in the job for 1 year and left to get my RN (thought it would open more doors for me). Got my RN and am now regretting that again. I should have saved myself alot of time, money and headaches and chose a different field. Honestly, nursing is not for everyone!

Hello all. I just have a question. I am an RPN started working in an acute care unit for 6 months now. I can say I hate nursing I mean the toxic co-workers and the high expectations of patients and families are killing me. I have tried to have a positive view everyday I go to work. I tend not to involve myself with the politics that exist in the workplace among the staff, but still their attitudes, their constant battles on who gets the easier patient, their backstabbing and wanting to find a fault somehow in your practice to report you to manager is killing both my working spirit and my drive to continue doing my bridge to RN. Do you think is it wise for me to continue on the path to do my bridge or change my profession altogether? is it going to be better if I do my RN and find work in other areas of nursing? or all the nursing specializations are toxic like this? I'd appreciate your input and opinions
