I'm a man so not so sure about male lactation consulting...lol

I recently completed my first year of nursing on a med/surg floor. I REALLY DISLIKE my job! I was a high school teacher for 12 years and decided that job wasn't hard enough (LOL) and got into something harder. I've found out that the lack of control in my days working on the floor really affect me. I just didn't factor in how much I needed to control my day...as a teacher i basically designed my days but as a nurse I'm at the whim of a call button pushing patient or assignment happy charge nurse! I just don't enjoy my days at work. I want to try other aspects of nursing but I really don't know what I may be qualified to do. I don't know what My 12 years teaching along with my limited 1+ year as an RN qualify me for. I really don't have a clue as to the types of jobs that are out there. Any help finding resources or suggestions/ recommendations would br really helpful. I have been considering teaching at a technical school or at a community college but the thought of staying on the floor for the 2-3 years it'll take me to get a masters just scare the hell outta me...

I just spoke to an advisor at the north campus that told me that for students applying by Septemeber 15 (jan. 2013start) that chemistry grade would be factored into GPA. There is so much conflicting information....idk
