I am currently a nursing student about to graduate in December with a BSN. I am just starting to think about which graduate degree to pursue, because where I want to go for that will determine where I search for my first nursing job.
Interests:
rehab (physical therapy, occupational therapy)
counseling/mental health
teaching/patient education
evidence-based practice
empowering others and motivating change
international relations/working with foreigners
emergency medicine, OB, home care, cardiac
leadership/management
crisis intervention
writing, both creative & scholarly work
holistic health
alternative medicine
I’m about half introverted, half extroverted, depending on the circumstances. I like working alone, but believe in team work.
I have considered physical therapy/occupational therapy school, NP or PA, master’s in counseling or PhD in therapy… any advice or suggestions?
Career Options???

go with the one that you feel comfortable with most…. the one that you think has more opportunities. it’s hard to get jobs now even with a degree.. so make sure whatever you pick theres alot of places looking that are or will be looking for that specific title you know?
