:) I am looking for a different path in nursing. Research nursing sounds interesting to me. I have a ASN degree, and almost 4 years experience as a nurse. I will try and contact a teaching university (where to start??). Also, what is your certification and how do you go about getting it? Any specific education/experience needed? What are the hours/pay/typical day like? Is this hard to get into? I am really wanting to get away from staff nursing, and would also like to get away from working nights, weekends, holidays. Just looking for a more "normal" schedule (M-F, days). Thanks.
