Hi! I have been a nurse for about two years now. Back in March, I fell on ice and screwed up my back. I couldn't work for two months. I have been back work for about a month and it is starting to act up again. I am starting to worry if I will be able to continue as a floor nurse. Are any non-clinical RN jobs out there? Any ideas on jobs I could do with my BSN?Thank you in advance! 0 Likes

The work is sedentary and entails a lot of screen time in front of a computer or laptop. No touching of patients or performance of procedural skills is required. 0 Likes
dishes, BSN, RN Jun 26, 2016 In addition to case managment as commuter suggested, the yellow banner at the top of the forum has a 'specialities' section, where you will find information on various nursing specialities such as; infection control, occupational health, telephone triage, public health and quality improvement. 0 Likes
featherzRN, MSN Specializes in Outpatient/Clinic, ClinDoc. Has 30 years experience. Jun 26, 2016 I do clinical documentation, which isn't mentioned too often in these forums - you have ZERO patient contact but you do interact with the providers - it's all computer work where you review charts for clarity of documentation (among other things) and query physicians when documentation needs some sort of correction, addition, etc. It also does involve a fair amount of computer assisted ICD-10 coding, but at least at my hospital they will train you in all of the above. 0 Likes
