I recently moved back to South Florida after spending a year doing travel nursing in NYC. I feel extremely lost and don't know what my next move should be.
I feel very burned out from the bedside. I had a job lined up when I returned but I quit because I couldn't cope with the stress and felt I needed a break. It's been a little over month since I quit and now I'm starting to get anxious about being out of the work force for too long, and of course have financial concerns.
I only have experience in Central Florida so I'm unfamiliar with the hospital systems down here. I've been a nurse for almost 5 years now. I have 2 years of experience on a med/surg/onc floor, 1 year of experience in peds hem/onc (I do not want to work in peds anymore) and 1 year of adult outpatient chemo/infusion. I struggle with confidence because I never stayed at a job long enough, this of course has been effecting me as I search for jobs.
I would sincerely appreciate some thoughtful feedback. What are my options for non-bedside nursing jobs? I just want LESS STRESS! Here are some of the job I've been considering:
Hospice Admissions
Case Management (interested in this but not sure what it entails/if i would need experience?)
Office Practice
Holistic/Wellness
I've also seen a per diem job for surgical pre-admission testing, that job seems like it might be lower stress?
Also...any advice on hospitals/companies would be greatly appreciated. I have seen some non-bedside postings with Vitas Hospice, Boca Raton Community Hospital, Holy Cross Fort Lauderdale, Hospice of Palm Beach County. I would prefer to stay in Palm Beach County.
Sorry this is such a long post...would really appreciate some kind and thoughtful feedback. Thank you to all in advance!
