Question by BDbots72: What other health care jobs or programs can i get into with a nursing degree?

Just looking for a list of programs or jobs in healthcare that require a MS or PHD, that are a little more gratifying then nursing, but that i can still use my nursing degree towards? Perhaps someone knows a good site to look up a bunch of health care jobs and programs? Thanks!

Amazing. Nursing is like the best profession out there. There are so many sub-specialties in all professional areas.

There are about 100 different nursing specialties. See below for the list. I know that doesn't completely answer you question, but the list can give you some ideas. Research, for instance, or Business Administration, There the CSI angle, but the TV show seems to make it more glamorous than it probably really is. Then there are legal nurse consultants.

You can find a list of the highest paying nursing specialties here on the right hand column: http://www.jobs-in-registered-nursing.com/nursing-specialities/index.php

Another approach is to see what all the nursing schools offer.
