Most important is getting a degree that doesn't pigeon hole me and also doesn't have me stuck at the bedside WITH an advance degree. Work life balance is huge. I want to be available for my kids. I am leaning towards nurse educator-as we have 4 or 5 local colleges and I think this would create some flexibility in my scheduling and I could meet my kids needs. I am exploring my BSN level opportunities. But, for some reason I am getting an itch to get my Masters. Even if I go one class at a time.

I think one of my biggest concerns is getting advanced degree and not having a marketable degree. I am unsure of what the options/jobs for the nurse administrator vs. nurse leader. I have an email out to the admissions director of the school I am looking into

I am on my 2nd career. I had 6 years in social work/d&a I was a mental health tech for 3 years and now a psych nurse for 3 years. I do not mind bedside nursing for now, but I know it's not what I want forever Where I live there are 5 local colleges with nursing programs-so education wouldn't be a bad gig. I am so uncertain about my career trajectory I dont know what would be the best path for me. I want the most versatile degree though. NP I am not considering because I am not sure I can handle the stress or a NP program with 2 toddlers in my house. And I dont feel comfortable with the pressure of being a prescriber.

I am contem beginning a masters level program. Forensic nursing Nurse leadership Nursing administration Nurse educator Forensic sounds great. Super interesting but what the **** kind of job/job market is there for that. The prospect of testifying in court is terrifying. Leadership/Administration...seriously what's the difference I dont want to be bedside forever so I need a degree that actually has a job market.Forensic nursing probably doesn't have a huge market. Thoughts?
