Nurses Job Hunt

Published

This probably sounds like a dumb question, but nursing isn't for me and I'm wondering if there's any fields that might hire me, not as a nurse, but that might value my experience. My last jobs before nursing were as a pharmacy technician. I loved it, but didn't make enough money...

Specializes in Med/Surg, Rehab, Case management.

This is an attitude I really hate. The way I learned is best, new nurses have nothing to offer, I'm right, you're wrong.

hey, LithEruiel , there always some openings, but there would be someone knows someone can make the recommendation,

and then someone gets the job, i assume that should understand what i mean, so don't worry, continue your hunting, there would be someone help, and also you can post your information on linkedin, facebook....... or you may search on internet, and send your CV.

good luck!

LithEruiel - to me it sounds like you are tired of the heavy, unsafe patient load. Do you ever think about switching to another specialty where patient load is lighter and safer? You seem like a hardworking person who is worried about patient safety. There are many, many fields in nursing and with a little more med-surg experience which is a great foundation, I'm sure you can find a path that is right for you.

If you're willing to take your academic endeavors a bit further, perhaps getting certification or another degree in a health care related field would be just right for you. Health care administration is growing as well as the Health Information Management & Systems sector (e.g. transcriptionist, coders, etc.). Having the clinical knowledge and bit of background is definitely wanted if decide to go towards health care administration :)
