ShandyLyynRN, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Most 9-5 MF pay a little less. (I think) Most people are willing to sacrifice the pay for the hours.
I love the night life, but I have a friend that works in recovery in a day surgery. It's a bit early in the AM, but no weekends or holidays. Radiology nurses, endo nurses, all kinds of nurses do bankers (or a little earlier than). We just lost a nurse to a doctor's office, she took a cut in pay to be with her family in the evenings.
Good luck.
You could also look into Endoscopy centers and outpatient Endo. Hospice needs peole to do like intake and you could probably have most weekends without call but probably have to share it just depends on how many people you share with. Like 3rd shift said tho there are jobs like radiology and Dr.'s office. My wife personally loves working with the doctor in the office she is with a GI doc and they do about half and half office and endo.

I have been thinking a lot about the future lately, and I totally cannot see myself working the "normal" hours of nursing for the rest of my working career. I know it is probably fantasy thinking that there are jobs out there that involve nursing, but also have "bankers hours".....Anyone have any ideas of nursing jobs that are monday thru friday without weekends, on call, holidays, or night shifts????? There is no way I ever want to be a nurse manager or administrator.... I dont feel that I could ever fulfill my duties to staff as I would want to... staffing, wages, benefits, etc.... and as of now, I only have my ADN.
