Fitness Nursing

[pedsnurse112]

Hi everyone! I am currently working as a NICU nurse and am ready to transition to something new. My passion has been in fitness and health for quite a while now, and I am hoping to somehow incorporate nursing with this. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations on how to do this? I know there is always personal training or that kind of job, but would really like to do something that involves nursing as well. Thanks in advance!

A co-worker of mine (RN) got a job as a corporate wellness program coordinator. She worked for a national company and put wellness incentive programs in place for employees. She traveled all over the country making visits to various corporate sites, meeting with employees. She also wrote a Wellness blog for the company as well. She is a fitness nut and she loved the opportunity to help people make healthier lifestyle choices. That's the only nursing job I know of even remotely related to what you are thinking.

I was going to say wellness coordinator as well. The company I work for has a wellness coordinator who is a RN and she's in charge of promoting employee health programs and connecting employees with the employee health clinic.

Thank you so much! I haven't been on here in a while, but that is exactly the route I am going! I received my Personal Training Certification and am now working with Pregnant and Postpartum women. Thank you for your positive response!
