So, this is what I've ultimately decided to do...

I was talking to the VP of Operations at the hospital I work at (she was the Exec. VP at the other hospital before we merged with this one).
Anywho! I told her I decided to go back this Fall for my Masters degree, and she recommended instead that I look into the School of Nursing program we have. She said there's more opportunity for me, and that I can make a lot more.
So, I checked into it, and she's right. It's a HUGE difference! I can either work as a Nurse, Nurse Manager, in Nursing Administration, etc. There's a HUGE market, and with my Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management, I'd be highly marketable. And when I say huge difference in pay, I mean upwards of $30k+!
I'm meeting tomorrow with the Director of the School of Nursing. We're going to go over my transcript to see what credits would transfer and get me past that, as well as the application and whatnot.
I think it's a smart choice, because I can always go for my Masters later too. Not to mention, we do get tuition reimbursement from the hospital, and that would almost cover the entire cost. So, I probably wouldn't have that much out of pocket and could eliminate more student loans.
Anywho! Thought I'd share that tid bit of my life with you LOL!

Good luck! It took me awhile to realize my heart wasn't in nursing and my type of personality wouldn't be able to deal with all that.
But working in a morgue sounds cool to me - might be the fact that the patients aren't speaking. Ha. Go figure... |
