I want to work outpatient, help!

Is it weird to call outpatient clinics to ask if they're hiring?

Hello, I'm an oncology nurse with 3 years experience. I'm tired of bedside and am thinking of doing something else in nursing.

I have been really thinking about working in an outpatient setting such as: 

OB, IVF, peds clinics, a laser clinic, or a MedSpa. I know these jobs are harder to obtain as a nurse.

I know of a couple clinics in my area but many of them don't really have an online option to apply for jobs and don't indicate that they're "hiring”….

So I have been thinking about calling some companies and offices and asking if they're hiring or looking for a nurse. 

Is this a bad idea? Is there a different way to go about this? Can any experienced nurses give me advice?

How can I get a job working in Ob outpatient? Or a medspa?

If cold-calling is not working for you, maybe look into talking to a recruitment agency/company?  They sometimes have leads on jobs which aren't published. At least this way, you can tell the recruiter exactly what you're looking for and they can see if they have anything which fits.

I don't have recommendations as to which ones are great or not; that's something you will need to research.

Good luck!

most large hospital organizations have clinics to support the hospital. Look online for careers and usually have a filter
