Any ideas on other nursing jobs I can do

Nurses General Nursing

So I have a BSN in nursing with about 10 months nursing experience working in ltc my first nursing job. I first started out doing pm shift for 8 months then recently moved to night shift. It's a great facility and I love the people I work with but I've always been wondering if at this time I can start to apply to non bedside nursing jobs which is something I originally wanted to do. Can anyone give me ideas on non bedside nursing jobs that are possible for me to get with this amount of experience I have? I do the best I can as always but still have this fear of losing my license in ltc.

Under 2 years of experience is likely not going to 'qualify' you for a non-bedside job unless you go to a clinic environment. They tend to pay less.

You can try visiting nurse? My friend was hired as a new grad as a visiting nurse.

Why do you fear losing your license? Are you willfully being neglectful to patients? Are you diverting drugs?

That's pretty much what would constitute you to lose your license. I understand you are probably not loving your job and would like something else, I know LTC can be very overwhelming. But, you are not going to "lose" your license over it.
