Any ideas on ways of making extra money as an RN?

Hi there.

I've been an RN working a Medical / Surgical floor for the last handful of years. I'm also a family man with two baby boys at home and a beautiful wife. We get by on my modest earnings alone, so I'm wondering if anybody out there has an idea about how I could supplement my income by finding additional work OUTSIDE of the hospital (ie: phone triage, legal nurse consulting, part-time work at an office, etc). I could work overtime at the hospital, but I am hoping to increase my experience in a different field of nursing while retaining some semblance of a home life.

I've got an Associate's of Science Degree in Nursing, almost 4 years experience, and will soon obtain my Medical / Surgical Certification from ANCC.

Thank you in advance for the help.

    Well phone triage normally requires experience in peds nursing.

    I do know some RNs that work in Dr.'s offices doing conscious sedation.

    Ever thought of just working PRN in a different nursing area?

    Legal nurse consulting is an option...I guess.

    Get certified to instruct CPR classes?

    Working PRN at a second hospital has been great for me. I make the money I need working full-time night shift, and work days, nights, weekends, whatever fits my schedule. My PRN base pay is more than the overtime pay at my primary job, plus, if I can work it right, I can get bid differentials.
