š„ Jobs / Careers I barely had a social life this year, but Iām USRN na, and almost an MSN-RN! Whatās next?š„¹
I am about to graduate in MSN!
Cheers to another milestone this year! š„
Iām so grateful I took the leap and pursued my Masterās while working full-time as an ER nurse. I recently defended my capstone, and my panelists even encouraged me to publish it! š„¹š„° Kinilig akooo!
Balancing work, graduate school, NCLEX (passed it ā¤ļø)and now PTE preparation hasnāt been easy. I barely had time to go out and enjoy life, but thankfully, this journey has changed me in unexpected ways. I no longer drink alcohol, I eat healthier, and Iāve learned to cook my own meals more often since I started living in my apartment. In a way, Iāve become more intentional about how I spend my time and take care of myself.
Now, Iām wondering how I can make the most of my upcoming MSN degree.
For nurses with an MSN, what opportunities opened up for you?
Was it worth it financially and professionally? Would you recommend leadership, education, research, or working abroad?
Iād love to hear your experiences and advice. Thank you in advance!š„°
