Hi guys! So, I have only been a nurse for about 2 years. I started off on a trauma med/surg floor for about a year. For the past year I have been working on a postpartum unit. I will be cross trained to labor hopefully within the next year. I gave up a day shift position to come to this unit, and, while I love my unit, working nights has been putting strain on my relationships, particularly with my husband. The wait for days here is predicted to be 5-10 years. I am craving a job with a more regular schedule where I can have weekends and holidays off and I have been looking at openings in outpatient clinics. There is currently an opening in an outpatient surgery center. Here is my question...is it too soon for me to leave hospital nursing? I keep thinking I will regret it if I leave too soon, particularly since I have not be labor trained yet. Have any of you made the switch? What are the pros/cons you have discovered? Thanks!

Hi guys! I have been having a hard time trying to find schools that offer the entry level MSN program. I am almost done with my bachelors in biology, so i need a masters program designed for people who do not have a bachelors in nursing. I have been able to fine some in cali, but not many. And im having trouble finding some in colorado. So i was wondering if any of you guys know an easier way to find schools that offer this or knoe of any schools in cali or colorado, maybe even arizona, that offer that type of program. Thanks so much in advance :)
