Hello, I have been stuck and stagnant in my nursing career/future. I’m 35. Single mom of 1 daughter. I have an ADN degree and currently work in the OR at a surgery center. I tried med/surg and OR in the hospital and it was a lions den! So my dilemma is: I do not want to be in management, but I do want to help patients especially underserved patients, like community outreach or something similar; and I really like computers.( I’m a tech-y) I have been putting off getting my BSN because of money and not having the desire to write a bunch of papers again ;(. I know maybe I’m being mentally lazy, but I don’t know what to do!!
I really admire the nurses that reply to these threads because you all have such amazing wisdom and great advice! Thank you
