What is a good complimentary degree to get after I am an RN?


I will be graduating with an associates degree to be an RN and I've considered a bachelors or masters in Nursing but I don't want to limit myself to such a specific area. I feel that Nursing is a great base to start from and build on. I've considered Kinesiology, don't want to be a doctor or PA, and don't really know what else nursing could help me with. Any suggestions?

Accountancy. Forget the people.

What about a Nurse Practitioner?

you can be a NP (nurse practictioner) or a nurse anesthetist. They all make pretty good money and do interesting things.

forget np, go to PA school

business then you are qualified to be an administrator and can make about $80,000 a year.

I think the great future of employment in medicine is Physical Therapy. Your nursing background would obviously be beneficial, and if you could get an MPT (Masters of PT), you'd be a very unique and sought after applicant for many jobs. Your pay scale could be out of this world, and you could be very picky about what type of work environment you wanted. PT is a tough program, but they are THE EXPERTS on the musculoskeletal system, and will be increasingly important with so many surgical patients needing outside therapy and rehab because of outpatient surgery.
