Going Back to Bedside

Published

Specializes in RN, Staff Developer, ADON.

I have been in management for the past 7 years and before that I worked 4 years in skilled home health. I am stepping back due to burn out and just miss being a nurse. I am returning to bedside. I will be working on a mental health unit with the possibility of floating to the main hospital. What are some things that I should have in my backpack. Like I said, it has been a while since I have been bedside.

I'm also missing bedside after being away for awhile. Currently trying to find a per diem or local travel gig to scratch that itch. How did it end up going for you? Are you happy with your decision?
