Hi all, I guess i'm just looking for some insight. I am a nurse now for 12yrs, currently working in an out patient ambulatory setting, pediatric doctors office, as a staff nurse. I am so ready for change, i'm truly bored! I feel there are no challenges with this job anymore and there is no room for growth. Most people would say i'm crazy, as this is a true laid back position. I prep the patient's for the providers, doc's and np's. Prep meaning height, weight, vision, hearing, bp's, etc. I give immunizations all day, everyday and give other med's depending on the reason for the visit. I rotate and triage phone call's once or maybe twice a week, this is probably the most challenging part of the job. I just feel it's time to move on. Right now the job market is a challenge within itself and they are looking for the cream of the crop, not unless you know someone that know's someone. I have done everything from med-surg, to L&D and in between. I feel at this point in my career, I should know what I want. The problem is I know what I don't want and have been evaluating what my interest are, but I'm truly stuck! I enjoy teaching, but not in the realm of a nursing instrutor. I thought about gyn nurse practitioner, but that doesn't make me bubbly inside, I'm also thinking of going back to school for a master's but not sure which route to take. I want something on the administrative level maybe, but not management. Has anyone experienced this issue, can you give me some insight, please and thank you.

Thanks for all your comments, really appreciate it! Will check out the information provided and see what I find!:)
