What did you do with nursing PhD?

Hi! 

I am a psych nurse with a MSN degree. I was originally planning on applying to a PMHNP program, but now I have a research topic in mind that I am excited about and am considering going the PhD route instead. I am curious about what jobs there are for nurses with PhDs. I know that they go into research and academia but those are very broad fields. 

If you have a nursing PhD, what is your job title, what kind of setting do you work in, and what does your typical day at work look like? 

Thank you to everyone for their input!

    Research/academia, my guess is mostly academia (possibly consulting). I was a humanities master's student looking a PhD. Opted against it, the juice honestly isn't worth the squeeze unless you hate yourself. Sounds exciting is a lot different than actually exciting. They are brutal (as opposed to a DNP or some other doctorate).

    Nursing is by and large clinical-based, PhDs just aren't a large need. Too many other PhD disciplines eating that pie. Actual medical and science research is going to be driven by STEM PhD and MD/PhDs.
