I've been working at a rehabilitation hospital for almost a year now. I absolutely hate it. I have for most of the time I've been here. I don't know if bedside nursing isn't my thing or if it's the patient load (usually 8) or if it's just the company I work for. I have, on several occasions, felt like I made a mistake going into nursing period. I've expressed my concerns to my coworkers and they have told me that I just need to find somewhere else that makes me happy. That I'm only feeling this way because of this place and this specialty. I have no idea what specialty I want to switch to, though. I tried psych for a couple of months and didn't like it. I've done home health for a little while but it doesn't pay well. I've been looking on indeed for some ideas and almost everything on there in my area is home health. Someone... Please help me
P. S. I'm a fairly new nurse so I don't have enough experience to apply for many of the interesting positions I see available. Plus I only have an ADN. So that definitely doesn't work in my favor either. I'm trying to get things in order to go back to school sometime soon.

My current company will be merging with a HH company by 2019. We have outpatient therapy at my hospital but no actual outpatient clinics so no outpatient nursing. I've looked into places like Kelsey Seybold and other office/clinic type settings and have applied. I think something like that would be exactly what I'm looking for. Fingers crossed I get a call back!
