most non-caring branch of nursing

What field is most non-caring branch of nursing?

[sevensonnets]

That is an incredibly bizarre question.

I would second an OR/procedural area, although I have not worked in either firsthand. They seem to be more process oriented, with a quick patent turn around. Any pt who may need a little more attention would not be there for long, if the op us trying to avoid that type of interaction.

But I too find the question odd. Nursing at its core is to treat the human response to illness, which includes a psych or emotional response.... Might as well come to terms with it instead of trying to avoid it.

more medicine/more protocols/ less pleasing/health focused / less slavery feeling

Bizarre question indeed.

"Less pleasing" is in the eye of the beholder. Or do you mean less *people* pleasing?

"Less slavery" feeling contradicts the above, no? Unless you're meaning the people pleasing.

Your question is poorly phrased. It's also not very ... aware? Nursing IS health focused, so I have no idea where you're going with this.

I think research nursing or nurse educator.

If you mean little to no patient involvement, I'd say UR or Clinical Documentation Integrity are the way to go. Maybe work Denials for a hospital or insurance company. None of those require much, if any, contact. Usually have pretty decent hours, too.

Perhaps OP means less care-taking in the form of direct bedside patient care. Because even if you don't take care of patients, you have to care about the work you do.

I did audits for an insurance company and had to care about whether the medication or procedure was ordered and documented in the chart before it would be paid for. Only had direct contact with a copy of the chart.

I'm picturing a big, red, "denied" stamp and lots of furious stamping. Less caring, indeed!

I think we're being snookered!!!!

OP has another current controversial post.

I think you're looking for a way to escape patient satisfaction surveys.
