I'm leaving nursing to pursue pharmacy. Although I know pharmacy is becoming highly saturated, I'd rather work as a clinical pharmacist in a hospital dealing with doctors and nurses demanding medications rather than dealing with angry patients. I can handle angry nurses but not angry patients. Nursing has great job security but the stress is too much. I agree with a lot of people in this thread, you should go the PA or NP route. With your credentials, you will get in. Trust me, you will end up going that route after you realize being an RN for 2 years wasn't worth the high level stress. All of us nurses don't remain nurses, we end up going NP 80% of the time. Originally, I was going to pursue the PA route, but they too, have to deal with patient drama. I see it everyday.
