Been a critical care RN quite a few years now and thinking of the next step for advancement. I really have no desire to do primary/preventative care but would love to work in a trauma center, ICU or first assist in the OR as an NP or PA. Ive been so torn about what my future holds because although I already have my BSN and it would be the easiest thing to go back for my MSN-NP, I really enjoy the pathology/pathophys and wonder if I would be better prepared for what I want to do by learning from the medical model rather than the nursing model by going through a medical science intensive Thoughts anyone? Im sure someone has been in my shoes before : )
