I recently got my CMSRN and have wondering what additional certifications and classes I could take. I was thinking about ACLS. I know there is crisis prevention training. Just wondering if anybody has more ideas?

Hey Guys! I am a former Mayo Summer III. I cannot say enough about this program! I can honestly say it changed my life. I guess I missed giving advise for this year's application. I know everything is based on a point system. So many points for essays, GPA, activities, leadership. My college roommate got her acceptance letter and I was devastated because I believed they would only be taking one student from each college. That is definitely not the case! If you are chosen you should live in the housing they provide. Mayo sets you up at a private Christian college. It's a nice little campus and the apartments are pretty big, plus they provide a bus to work. There is hardly no parking at Mayo. I became great friends with my roommates. We even plan yearly vacations to each other's home states. If you have any other questions you can always send me a direct message! Good luck to all. I'm guessing you'll be hearing very soon.

I am incredibly burned out on taking care of patients. I have 2.5 years of bedside experience in med-surg. I have held two positions at different hospitals and have not been satisfied with either one. I always feel pulled in every direction and do not feel like I am giving great care. I need ideas for new job opportunities. I would like something with better hours (fewer or no weekends or holidays). I would like to leave the bedside but I am afraid to lose my skills since I am only 24 years old and don't want to take a big pay cut. Also I wouldn't mind going back to school in the next few years but I don't know what to get a degree in. I would like a degree that doesn't limit me to one area (I already have a BSN). IDEAS PLEASE?!?!
