Since you're an RN and you now have your CPC, why not look into doing QA? I have all the education it requires other then the RN after my other education initials. Actually even did the job, but due to changes in hospital policy I was replaced.
You'd be perfect for the job now. Its certainly worth looking into. I loved doing it.
