Hi everyone,

I have taken up to do CIMA. Just wanted guidance and advice from professionals or those who have completed CIMA or are currently pursuing the same.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Any suggestions that won’t require me taking a crazy pay cut? I’m pretty much open to anything.
