Most nurses know that the work is nothing short of gruntsville whether in management or not.. so............ Save the Extra $20k and get your 2 year. Either way it goes you will end up hating nursing, the nurse to patient ratio really sucks, the beaurocracys, and the a-kissing certainly is imminent, so watch out. and If I were you I would not have an attitude of expectancy that its a very toasty and fufilling job because 90% of all nur:confused: ses hate it. I hope this helps.
