I dislocated and fractured my right shoulder in May of 2016. I have not been working since. It looks like I will be able to return to work soon, but with some restrictions. I would like everyone to comment on all the different types of nursing that you can think of that I could do with minimal use of my right shoulder, (I am left handed).

A few years ago, I was in a car accident. I had other injuries but the one that effected my ability to come back to work after 8 weeks was my shoulder. I had a laceration through my rotator cuff, separated AC joint, torn labrum, and a fx of the scapula-not the same thing, but intense none the less. It took 5 months of physical therapy to get it back into working condition. I did go back to floor nursing and it was very difficult. I've now moved into school nursing, it is much better as my shoulder still has it's limitations. Home health, infusion clinic, doctor's office, community health all may be better options for you

I'm not sure about the home health suggestion. In that environment you sometimes end up shifting/moving patients without any help.
