Just curious to see how far everyone has gotten and if they're going any further.

Specializes in ICU, telemetry, LTAC.

I'm very reluctant to go back to school at this stage in life. I'm nearly 40, new to ICU and in a small hospital where, if I stay a long time, I could do house supervision. I don't really want to do supervision though, the staffing alone is a headache.

My husband is in school and I will rethink the question in a couple of years when he is out and has a job. Right now I think, if I could live through the chemistry courses, maybe I'll bridge to MSN one day and do education. That's "one day" in the far future.

I checked "still in nursing school," but I already have a BS in psych and history. I'm in an ABSN program, and plan to become a CRNA after a few years in the ICU.

Sorry, there's already 10 options there and that's the maximum number allowed. I guess there are more options that I had originally thought.

Specializes in ER/Critical Care.

I have an ADN --'84, BSN-- '98, MSN/CRNP in 2000. Would love to get my DNP but it's nice to go home & watch TV and not have to write a paper or study.

The poll has been updated to add the omissions. Sorry about the omission.

All mine are still not there. MSN and MBA with additional study in Zen Shiatsu and shamanism. I like to diversify, lol.

You know the t-shirt "I can only please one person a day ..."

I'm just kidding, I ran out of options, ten is the max. But it sounds like you have a nice resume.

I have my RN BSN and I am starting back to school in January to get my EMT certification and then someday the RN to paramedic bridge. I think mobile ICU or flight nursing would be a blast :)

I was a helicopter flight nurse picking up people off oil rigs and boats in the Gulf of Mexico and it was a blast, the vibrations, nausea, landing on boats in heavy seas, flying when the Coast Guard wouldn't go out because your navigation gear was better than theirs, jet engine problems...a real blast, lol.

I continue to "advance my education" through inservices and continuing education classes, however I have no plan to do so formally by obtaining a higher degree.
