Specializes in PCU, Critical Care, Respiratory,.

Hello, I have been a nurse for 22 years and am now an AP RN with a specialty in Pulmonary ,Education and Critical Care. I have a keen interest in relocating to a very small underserved area which has been my dream since I graduated 22 years ago. My children are gone, and relocation is highly possible. What areas are good and would be recommended? Ive been scouted by Tribal Health care and many areas in the midwest. I also want to be in an area where there is some remote level of respect for nurses. i am interesting in doing some writing and publishing for journals as well. I have been active in local and international mission and really feel I belong there. Any advice would help.

What about the federal government? They have a huge need for AP nurses for the Indian Health service. There are many remote places you could go that would fit what you described. Good luck, and congratulations :).

I'm so jealous! I'd love to do that too. But I'm just starting nursing school. Maybe in 10 years, when I get through it all....
