Enough griping...

I'm interested to hear what people have done or want to do with their license that ISN'T the status quo...

Start a grass roots patient advocacy group?

CAM consulting?

Global health nursing?

teaching?

Philanthropy?

Let's hear ideas!

I'll bite, but I don't know how creative this is...

I've already done one medical mission trip and would like to do more one day.

I've also looked into parish nursing. I went to a two day seminar and have talked to my church, but nothing has really materialized.

My previous life before nursing was as a business analyst, so I'd really like to be the RN who works with IT to make these lovely computer applications we have to use be, you know, actually helpful!

PS, what's CAM consulting?

how to pad a bed with a lower GI bleed on a colonoscopy prep that doesn't cause a leak that hits the floor... flexaseal, but bag.... priceless...:D

Does writing count? I write for nurses, patients, the general public. I found that my love of and my ability to write was enhanced by my nursing and has allowed me to find a niche that does me quite well.

hmm, figuring out how to push 600cc of blood in in 10 min..(of course in a dire emergency)used a big stopcock and a large 60 cc syringe. Probably an old trick, but I take credit for figuring out this one..:)
