I have worked in many areas - as an LPN L&D then to surgery as I was working on my RN. Graduated and went to the ED where a stayed a long time; I moved to psych where I have remained in a variety of roles from staff to supervisor to Director and even an 8 month stint as Acting Ns Exec.  Moved to qualkity and risk both of which I love. I also have been teaching at the undergrad level increasing the levels as I worked on my MSN. I will finish my MSN in 13 weeks and want to teach student nurses as well as continue my clinicals so I do not become stale. I also have a very soft spot for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) - there is so much more we can do for our patient/clients.

Would I do anything differently? Go to school to get a BSN work then do my MSN sooner. I loved each of the areas I worked.

Sometimes one's choice in nursing is limited to where they can find employment.  In my case, that has turned out to be long term care and home health. 

Thanks Head_Nurse. That was a great link! Remember, thinking outside the box can bring very creative jobs. I am getting a new job as a nurse educator that travels. How fun is that? I am getting off nights/weekends in 3 more weeks!

I will do!
