As a nurse, you don't need anyone to tell you that nursing can be a rewarding but highly stressful job that can make you prone to burnout. But even though 95% of surveyed nurses said they're glad they became a nurse, about 20% said they'd choose a different career if they had the chance to start over again, according to a study by Medscape. So what can you do with a nursing degree that makes good use of your existing skills? A lot of things!
