Am I the only RN uninterested in working in a hospital?

Specializes in Home health.

I've been an LPN since 2010 and now I've recently become an RN. I've done SNF and didn't like it. No one on one interaction with patients like private duty nursing. I do school cases and home health and love the ability to work independently, no clique facility drama, and one on I've patient interaction.

I have done inpatient for 7 years now and I am ready for a change to work outpatient or clinic setting. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to work in a hospital but I know it can make a nurse more "marketable." Long term nursing career wise when u have got the inpatient experience even if it'd just a couple years it's great to have on the resume. However, even though I have inpatient experience the outpatient jobs I keep applying for haven't called for an interview yet ?

Thank you for your response.  For a while I thought no one would respond.  That's true I've heard it's good to have that hospital experience . Wow where are you applying? Try Keiser Permanente. That's where I'd want to work rather than a hospital
