Hi,
I'm a relatively new nurse (1.5 years experience). Over the next few months, I have to make a decision what university to attend. I am going for my bachelor's and then would like to continue to master's level. I am having trouble deciding on a specialty. First, although I enjoy direct patient contact, I am not thrilled with bedside nursing. I would like help choosing myy specialty. My ideal job would offer the following:
1) no nights, weekends, holidays required, but optional
2) 8-12 hour work days
3) good benefits
4) fast pace
5) managerial duties
6) using at least some nursing skills
7) pays enough to pay for a 3-bedroom house in a safe neighborhood, a non-luxury car/SUV, my 3 children's college, 2-week annual vacation
8) small to medium size company, any type, i.e. corporate, hospital, government
9) mostly autonomous
10) mostly dealing with people 7years - seniors
11) opportunity to learn, teach, interact with staff
What should be my specialty and where can I work? Does anyone have a job that covers most, if not all, of the above described? I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks!
