About to Graduate...do NOT want to work in a hospital!

Published

Hey all recent grads!

I am going to graduate with my BSN this year, but I have found that I don't think I can work in a hospital! I have never wanted to work in a hospital, and after a year in ICU/CCU, I feel even more confident about that. However, i'm so LOST about other areas to look into as a fresh graduate. I would LOVE to work in an ortho office, but I know the chances of that are slim to none. I am open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Have you considered working with the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps? It's a branch of the uniformed services but under the Surgeon General (and not the Department of Homeland Security so no deployment to war). My Husband is a member and he loves it.

They have great health and retirement benefits! If you don't mind travelling or moving you could work with the Indian Health Service, the FDA, CDC or even NIH etc as your career grows. Check out their website - www.usphs.gov and if you have any questions call 800-279-1605 for more info
