I too am in the same position, I hold 3 advanced degrees and can't get a floor position. I currently work as an nursing educator, however I'm over it and want to return to bedside nursing. I've had several interviews, but they go with other candidates. I was told to "dummy down" my resume cause managers think I won't stay in the position. I need to return to bedside because I'm set to start clinical for my FNP.. At this point I'm even considering moving to another city. I like you just want to pay my bills, I never would've thought my degrees would be an obstacle. Yes, I've applied for managerial and other position, but then, I don't have the experience.. it's crazy
