Darien, your DON does not seem to your best interest! it is a predicament, you enjoy your work and at the same time cant seem to progress in your field. I believe you are an asset but I refuse to believe that being a Hospice nurse is the only job that you will love. You have only being an RN for 3 years.....do you have any experience in any other field of nursing? Your passion and willingness to progress is enough to tell me that you can better things at a higher post at your company and I failed to understand your DON's reasoning to hire those other people. Ultimately, the decision is yours to either bring about a change or let it be and you continue to enjoy your work until you prove yourself otherwise. Good luck!!

Well I do enjoy being a case manager because my job also involves with Discharge planning and I enjoy bedside care and interacting with my patients. But lately with a lot of turn-over and applications of different process models in our department, it seems that bed-side care is negligible now and more about ensuring pt. meeting criteria's and faxing clinicals on a timely basis!! I will research into Patient Safety as suggested in the comments! Thank you all for your response.

I graduated with ADN in 2009 and then my BSN in 2013. Currently, I am employed as a RN, Case manager and I enjoy my work. I would like to further my education in the field of Anesthesia but can not finance my education. My director suggested that I do DNP in Organization Management and it will allow to be at a CEO position of a hospital. But, I would have to start off with a directorial position at first and then get mentor-ship and eventually can become a CEO. It is time consuming and don't know if I will still have the desire to become a CRNA. Any advice in what I should do?

Hi there, I am interested in the program and live in Paducah but would like some advice on how to finance the three year course?
