I'm curious to find out if anyone knows of an nursing specialties that have 3 12 hour shifts, but are not hospital floor nursing or long term care.
I spent my first six months of my career in a ltc facility, and the past 1.5 years in hospital med/surg. Neither are for me, and I'm beginning to worry that NO hospital bedside care is for me. However, I do enjoy the scheduling.
Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? I've considered "rn supervisor-home health" but it seems that is a 9-5 job, as is school nursing (in addition, it looks like school nursing would be a pay cut). I've also though of OR or other hospital specialties, but those too seem to be 8 hour shifts plus on-call. In addition, I royally suck at IV insertions, and I don't want to be that OR nurse that can't insert an IV. Am I asking for too much? It's okay to tell me I am, I have thick skin :)
I so badly want to find my niche, something that when I awake for work I'm, if not eager, at least not depressed about going to.
