Hi! There are so many nurses out there asking the same questions and every one has a different reason why. My background is critical care nursing-NICU, PICU, and then, in an effort to have a schedule that worked for my family, I transitioned into Cardiac Cath Lab and interventional cardiology. That had too much on call time and I was looking for a career where I could make my own schedule and be at home when my children came home from school. I actually found a niche that allows me to use many of the skills that I learned as a nurse-leadership, organization, education, helping other people, and, yes, I definitely replaced my income (beyond my dreams)! If you want to learn more, please email me at [email protected] I have lots of ideas of how to help you find your niche!
Hi! My story is a little different. I joke saying I was a "nurse" for 30 seconds. It took me about a decade to get my degree, and then health problems (migraines and hyperemesis during pregnancy) pushed me out of bedside nursing. I decided I wanted to be involved in healthcare somehow, so I started a patient story sharing blog. From there I've gotten into freelance writing and social media managment. For me, it hasn't been quick, so I would definelty suggest getting started while still working, and work to make that side hustle profitable! If you have any questions, I'd love to chat with you, [email protected] or you can find me on Twitter @VickyWriting!

Has anyone been able to transition from bedside nursing to working at home?
what are you doing?
do you enjoy it?
does it cover your expenses?
