Hello, everybody!
I am a new graduate RN and really struggling with the choices. :confused:
I'm immigrant, 40 y.o. and have nothing im my 401K or SS accounts:))) it's scary:)))
What would be the best choice: traveling or master program?
I don't know this market and not sure about how much money I can make in traveling or by being an MSN.
I know it's hard to advice, but I would be really really appreciate any of your advices.
Do we :confused:have a traveling for nurse practitioners?
thanks

You can travel as a practitioner. To travel as an RN, you have to have at least 1.5-2 yrs experience, depending on the hospital and/or your specialty. If you can work and get your Master's, that would probably be your best bet since you can't travel until you have more experience anyway :)

I am traveling and working on my MS. I am doing it in nursing education through Walden University online. Its a great program and school, so if you are interested in a Masters for teaching, management, or informatics, check out the school.
