besides being an RN/LPN..what are some other good paying health care jobs that you wouldn't mind doing

I wouldnt be in health care....I would go where the money is...Business

Specializes in acute care, long term care.

I would love to be a barista at my local coffee shop. I love watching them make latte's and frappe's. It not only looks cool but I think it would be therapeutic for me. Plus, it can't be that stressful the worst that I could do is mess up someones coffee. I would never give up nursing though, Maybe I can be a barista in my retirement years.

Specializes in infection control, peds, home infusion.

honestly i would do something therapeutic, like teach swimming. i could swim laps during the down time to exercise and get rid of stress. i used to do this and i loved it.

Specializes in LTC/hospital, home health (VNA).

I would love to spend my summers running a camp for special needs kids! And staff it with PT/OT, nurses and doctors...or atleast some students of such. How rewarding would that be!!! Plus it would be like getting to be a kid all summer long :)

Specializes in Family NP, OB Nursing.

I'd teach high school or college biology or some other kind of science...I might have gone into law before, but if I was changing jobs now it would be to become a teacher.

Specializes in ICU, PICC Nurse, Nursing Supervisor.

i would love to be a meteorologist and work for the national severe storms lab in oklahoma... i might just do this later in life since i am making a profession of being a student...

If I won the lottery and didn't have to worry about money I'd work in a library. Love being around books as well as the quiet enviroment of the library.

Specializes in ER.

I would get out of healthcare all together and be a motorcycle mechanic.

Specializes in Pediatrics.

If money were not an issue and a successfull career would be a given I would be either:

A. A children's librarian

B. A children's book author

What I would really like to do is stay at home all day and play Martha Stewart and have some unseen, hidden person set up my supplies/ ingredients table and clean it up for me after I'm done. As well as clean my house and do my laundry, so that I can focus on the more important things, such as making my own wrapping paper. THAT would be THE BEST.

Specializes in Infection Preventionist/ Occ Health.

I would go to graduate school and earn my PhD in epidemiology, then go work for the Gate's foundation or another NGO.

Specializes in Med Surg.

I would be a PT/OT or a nutritionist. My original career was going to be graphic design because I won awards for it in high school but I wanted to take a more stable career path so I chose nursing for college and here I am.
