Extended care home health would provide an easier venue for you, especially if you ask for night shift work. One patient for the shift, one nurses note. At night, you might be able to land a case where you are essentially sitting in a rocker watching a baby sleep through the night; essentially respite for the parents. If the baby is particularly stable, you can't get much more low stress than this. Go to a home health agency and see what they have to offer you for shift work. Best wishes.

i agree with the poster above, homecare would be great. i did visiting nursing as my first job out of nursing school, i don't believe its appropriate for a nurse in the beginning of her career but certainly towards the end. the schedule is so flexible and most companies do not put personal care in the job requirements (that's done by the PC/HHA worker). so when i did VNA work i next to never did any heavy lifting. i tell myself i'll go back to VNA when i'm ready to retire lol
