I'd really love some advice! I am currently in an MSN program to become a nurse educator. I'm wondering, do I have the experience to be beneficial to any future students or to even get a job as a teacher? I graduated in 2012 with my BSN. I worked for 6 months on a med-surg floor where I discovered floor nursing made me miserable. I then worked for a physician's office which coordinated hospital procedures for special needs patients, and I am now working in pre-op, PACU, and a few times a month I work in a GI lab. I still have several years to go before graduating with my MSN, but being that I don't have much floor experience will this be enough to help my students? I love teaching and from what I have seen students are not given a very helpful or nurturing environment in nursing school. I am hoping to facilitate a positive environment for students. I want to have enough diversity to help students, but I also want to avoid having to go through years of working on the floor to get enough experience. Please help with advice!
