Intentionally bumping this to see how it was and what you thought of it. I live in Oregon and am looking for online FNP programs right now. Hopefully you are still active around here and will find this post!

I've been an RN/BSN for over 2 years now and have worked as a bedside nurse in the same SNF/LTC facility since I received my license. I would eventually like to work at a hospital but my family situation is such that hospital schedules pretty much won't work for us, at least for the next year or two. Today my administrator offered me a care management position and while everything about it looks ideal (pay raise, normal Monday through Friday hours, less stress with my family's schedule, plus I will still have plenty of interactions with the patients) I'm worried that being off of the floor may hamper my efforts in a few years to find a hospital job. Anyone else have experience with working in management and then moving on to acute bedside nursing, and did you feel that it either helped or hindered you when you applied for a hospital job?
