I talked to someone and they said if you get into hospital management after being an RN, you have better chances of getting laid off in the case of a budget cut. Is that true? I've thought about getting a hospital management masters so I could be a Director of Nursing. Could I be cut easier than if I stayed as just an RN?

keep moving up. and be the best you can possibly be at your job. so it will give them the motive to not lay you off. do what you want to do.

In some settings this could definitely be true. Staff nurses are often employed under contract and have some degree of job protection, especially once you have a bit of seniority under your belt. Management and administrative positions are often non-contract positions, and management jobs are often first on the chopping block when it's time to make cuts. But if you do your job well, and if you don't have a lot of other people doing similar jobs where you work and you are the one who is "running" the unit you're on, then you will be less likely to be a victim of cuts.

Make sure you keep your RN license active. You can always fall back on it if you have to.
