When is a good time to move from patient care (which I love) to a more circumference role … as in care navigator or care coordinator!?!?

It is because you love your role in helping patients progress is probably why you are looking at the next level of care. Although we need all "hands on deck" now with the transition of the healthcare system...you sound as if you are ready to help advance the healthcare system by taking part in the transition of nursing. Who knows better than those "skilled" bedside nurses to perform quickly into navigator positions! What a payoff and advantage to make sure good care at the bedside continues upon discharge! It's a jungle out there.... and neighbors, relatives, and social media seem to "know it all! Who better to be the guiding light than those who have progressed the patient through critical times and now a pathway to continued progress. Or.... heaven forbid...a quick return if things don't go as planned. Your eyes and ears are already entuned for those symptoms, so you become the lifeline or life jacket if needed. You will become the motivator for the patient to stay on course and/or be "in-tuned if it doesn't.
