Any other RNs trying to get out of nursing all together?

Thank you so much for the information. All I have been able to find about PM jobs is that people get experience on projects doing other jobs and basically slide into the role. I hoped that seeing actual PM degrees would indicate that there were multiple ways to start in the profession. I can take a salary cut by working a contingent RN job until I get my feet wet. I am also 50, so I would rather get a degree that puts me on a faster track than a learn as you go and claw your way up.

Gaining experience in other fields is one way to gain experience. Every field uses project management one way or another. Check out PMI.org. They have a lot of information about project management. Project Management in Healthcare is growing right now. Is there anyone in your organization you can connect with to get some more insight. If not try connecting to people on Linked In that are where you want to be and see if they can give you some insight.

Thank you. I plan on joining the local chapter PMI and to do some networking there. And I agree about previous experiences that align with PM - I have done a lot of case management in nursing which would be similar. Just need to get some ideas together as I put together a 1 to 2 year plan for getting out of nursing
