Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years ahead?

Well, people that know me already know that I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing. Currently, I am working on the Orthopedic floor as a new graduate nurse. I see myself in about 3-5 years going back to either get a Masters in Nursing or going from RN to PA (physician assistant). They have a 2 year program from BSN-RN to PA. A Masters in Nursing is another 4 years of schooling. If I get a masters in nursing, I can function under the same level as a Doctor and have my own patients, prescribe my own meds, and have my own clinic. Pretty tempting. PA is a little more restrictive as I have to work under a physician.
Option 2: I could see myself eventually working more in public health nursing such as school nursing. I love working with kids in the public setting such as being a camp nurse at a kids camp. Keeps you young working with kids. :)
Option 3: I have considered this a lot lately, but there is a degree (2-4 years) which would get me a Masters in Nursing Informatics. In this position, I could be the one that physically designs EMR's (Electronic medical records) and codes the program basing it around my prior nursing experience. This department has a wide variety of salaries ranging from the same as a staff RN (what i do currently) and making up to 110,000 dollars yearly (depending on the company, state, and other factors). Either way, it would combine my computer knowledge and nursing knowledge and take the best of both worlds. Might be a really good fit for me. Plus, I feel like GE:S has had provided me with some helpful experience, more or less.
Regardless, I see myself somewhere else than where I do now. The questions is....where will I go. :)

5 Year Plan: Possibly get an M.Ed, then teaching English in Asia, and then the Middle East once I have enough experience under my belt.
10 Year Plan: Back to school for a masters in Archeology.
Somewhere along those lines. I can get into a free M.Ed for Elementary Education course now that runs for 18 months, but I'm not sure sure if I want to.
Wake[of]theBunT:
Live in Karratha (a mining town in north west australia) with my partner. Me and her have big plans for a house, a home theatre to make people jealous and a range of business ideas around her future job as a shipping agent.
I will run the businesses and if she gets 2 or 3 years as a shipping agent here that would qualify her to work pretty much any port town/city in the world.
So who knows where we'll be in 5-10. Somewhere as happy as now, but with more financial chops? =D

I think once he has graduated after the 5 years he will have a Masters in Pharmacy too or something

I am doing my professional placement as well as doing other pharmacy units. His degree sounds a lot like the American set up, because they finish with a Masters of Pharmacy, whereas mine will only be a Bachelor. (Which is good for him, means he isn't stuck in Ireland).

It seems a lot of people are going up to Karratha to change their lives, and not just to do mining either. It looks like the city is booming, which is really good for a country town. Good luck to you and your partner. It sounds like a good plan to me.
