I'm a freshman in nursing school this year and, although I know I might be a bit ahead of myself, I have been looking into options for master's degrees. I was interested in the nurse practitioner program, but as I thought about it, I am not so certain anymore. What drew me to nursing is the bedside care that a nurse gives a patient. And, from what I think I've learned, practitioners aren't really at the bedside very much. At least, not near the amount a regular RN is. So, I'm not really sure what other master's options I have. I don't think that I really want to do administrative stuff or teaching...like I said, the bedside care is what made me want to be a nurse. But, I do really want to get a master's. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thank you so much! :)
