I was in a car accident back in 2/05. As a result, I have a perm disability that states I can't lift greater than 15# with my right arm that results in my elbow above my shoulder. Basically, anything that causes the ligaments along the right side of my neck/clavicle to "stress".
I only graduated with my ADN in 2002. I worked in cardiac progressive care for 2 years after graduation. After that, I transferred to our home health department. I was on my way to see a patient when I hit black ice and slide into oncoming traffic.
The end result, I can't do floor nursing or home care ever again. I am searching for a career direction. I am scheduled to begin completion of my BSN in August/06. I have almost 10 years of general mgmt experience prior to becoming a nurse.
One of the things I have found is a program to get my CLNC. Does anyone know anything about that?
What about nursing informatics?
Any other suggestions would be great appreciated!!
Oh, I have checked physician offices. They don't seem to hire RN's in this area unless they can assist in surgery or are rounding nurses. I have been told I didn't get in enough experience prior to the accident.
