Hello to all! I'm a RN with a BSN and BS in Biology. I've been a nurse for 3 years now; doing home care and ER. I want to get out of the clinical setting and do administrative work. I'm researching in other job alternatives and I came upon a degree: MBA in Healthcare and Life Sciences. Does anyone know what I can do with this degree? Many thanks if you do :)

I haven't checked this thread in a while. So...thanks for those nice nurses out there who understands where I'm coming from. Nursing is not just the bedside... I've met too many nurses who are so negative and I just don't have the time to hear their "b****ing". I'm moving on into another field in nursing that doesn't deal with patients but I'm still able to help people, which is very important to me:up: Kind regards to all!

Hello everyone! I'm from NJ and have been trying to get into the pharmaceutical/biotech industry for time now. I have a BS is Biology and a BSN. I've been a nurse for almost 2 yrs and mostly doing peds homecare and just 9 months of ED. I really want to move away from the bedside...it's killing me softly:crying2: Can anyone give me some info on how to get my foot in the door to clinical trials or regulatory affairs. I was also thinking of working in drug safety but i don't know if I need a degree or certification for that. I need a push, an idea, some suggestions....please. Kind regards!

There are jobs out there for nurses outside the bedside. Look into that if the floor is stressful for you.

Thanks Kyasi:D

I've been a nurse for almost 2 yrs now and I must say that bedside can really burn you. I'm trying to get away from the bedside. I was an ER nurse for 9 months...I had no time to eat, go to the bathroom, and i couldn't sleep thinking that i had to go back to work:eek:. I'm doing home care now but is not very fullfilling to me. I'm looking into coding, drug safety, clincial data analysis, and perhaps MBA in Healthcare/Life Sciences. If anyone has any info on these, please let me know. I would appreciated greatly!

Thanks for your opinion; seriously. I would like to know if anyone can give me any info on MBA in Healthcare and Life Sciences. Much appreciated:)

Hello! I've been in nursing for 2 yrs; mostly in peds home care and 7 months of ED experience. I was recently offered a hospital job in Peds unit but after 2 days I quit. I'm not cut out to work at hospitals and I don't see myself doing bedside for long either. I have a BSN and a BS in Biology (I was a lab tech and cosmetic chemist) and now considering getting an MBA in Healthcare and Life Sciences but I don't know what an MBA can offer me. Any advice; I would truly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm a new staff nurse in the ED and I have a high interest in becoming an NP within 1 or 2 yrs from now. So, does anyone know any Emergency NP or Critical Care NP programs in NYC? Thanks!:)

Hi all! I'm in the process of filling out my endorsement application. My question is: when I'm filling out my blue (FBI history record) and lavendar (state criminial history) cards, do i use my new MD address or the old one from my home state? Thanks in advance!
