Nursing affords a wide variety of work settings. What if you don't want to be a floor nurse? Maybe you've tried it and it's just not for you. Maybe your health isn't what it used to be. In any case, you do have options. Here are a few!
Psychiatric nurses work in psychiatric hospitals, treatment centers, rehabilitation centers, hospital ERs, and correctional settings. You typically are not involved in bedside care, but you'd be responsible for assessing mental health, monitoring and administering psychotropic medications, and being able to therapeutically communicate with psychiatric patients.
How to do it: You can become a "psych" nurse with your Associate's in Nursing degree. As for advancement, you can go on to get your Master's and become what's called a Psychiatric Mental budget car rental sales Health Nurse Practitioner.
Another option for non-bedside nursing is a nursing case manager. As a Nursing Case Manager, you would coordinate the patient's care between the different facilities, healthcare providers, and community resources.
You'd focus on the long-term care of their patients. You'd arrange transfers from units or facilities, follow up on their patient's well-being, and act as a hub, or central point, of their patient's overall healthcare.
How to do it: Just like a psych nurse, all you need is an RN after your name. However, you can increase your credentials by getting a certificate from the ANCC (after working as a case manager for a few years). If you're just starting out and want something to look good on a resume, consider practicing bedside nursing for a year or two to get some experience. Or seek a certificate from the Commission for Case Management Certification.
Salary: A nurse case manager will make about as much as a floor nurse, again starting from about $50,000 without prior experience. You can expect to make more with experience, as well as if you had a certificate.
budget car rental sales Nursing Informatacists are "tech" nurses. You would often oversee the technical side of nursing, deal with documentation software, work with other nurses to use technology, help with web education, and supervise and maintain tele-monitoring.
You will most likely be troubleshooting problems, as well as taking suggestions or complaints from nursing staff about documentation problems. You'll help streamline the process and help make their documentation budget car rental sales easier and less time-consuming. Very rarely will you have to do any bedside nursing duties, if ever at all.
School Nurses work with children at school. They may care for children with chronic illnesses (like asthma or bronchitis), or be there to handle health events like accidents. They may take part in educating about health and safety.
How to do it: Check with the requirements in your State, or even your County. They may be different. Valuable experience is med-surge, pediatrics, or emergency care nursing.  The public education system is undergoing financial strain, however, so this field may be competitive and smaller as time goes on.
This field is more suited toward experienced nurses who have a need or desire to leave bedside nursing. Legal Nursing Consultants need to be adept at reading and parsing through medical budget car rental sales records, have a well-rounded understanding of medical terminology, and strong flexibility and problem-solving skills.
They work in law offices, insurance companies, government offices, or any other setting where a general medical knowledge is needed in legal proceedings. As such, most Legal Nursing Consultants have a lot of bedside nursing experience already under their belt.
How to do it: Work as a floor nurse, preferably med-surge, for a number of years (at least five, typically). A BSN would be a good idea as well. You can opt to get a Legal Nurse Consultant certificate, but it is not required.
Salary: Depends on whether you work for a company or as an independent contractor. Accounts vary, but depending on skill set, specialization, and credentials, Legal Nurses charge anywhere from $60-250 an hour.
Nurse Researchers are experts in the design and implementation of clinical studies and ethics. Knowing how to balance the two priorities of experimentation against patient safety is paramount. It is sometimes difficult to keep the patient safe while using a new drug or medical technique. Nurse Researchers also write results and dissertations on research studies, apply for grants, and work in a variety of settings.
How to do it: Research nursing may require a long-term budget car rental sales commitment and can be heavily dependent on experience. Experience as a med-surge or ICU nurse is valuable, but at the very least you will need your BSN and often some type of regular work experience. It would also be valuable to get a second degree in Clinical Research. You can then get credentialed as a CCRP (Certified budget car rental sales Clinical Research Professional) by The Society of Clinical budget car rental sales Research Associates.
budget car rental sales Diabetes Management budget car rental sales Nurses advise and educate patients with diabetes. Often, they monitor patients on an outpatient basis, educate on maintaining glycemic (blood sugar) levels, how to self-administer medications, and other need-to-knows.
