Search Indeed, and Career builder. Put your resume out there. You will get many hits. Also individually search the big boys like Aetna, Blue Cross, and United health.
I got my job through an agency. Aerotek worked for me. There are many more agencies looking for you, they make money when they put you to work. That is networking.
Looking for a job.. is a job in it's self.
Good luck.
I also had a case manager approach me today about a PRN position at the hospital I'm at now. Another PRN position tho...I really need full time for insurance purposes. ������
Would that be PRN in case management? In that case, grab it and learn the role. The training would be worth the $$ it would cost to pay for your benefits temporarily.

I consider about how lucky you are. I wish I had half of your luck. I have been applying jobs here and there for half year. I haven't got anything back. Finally I applied a new residency program , got an interview then got denied. Hope you find your dream job soon.
I dont have much experience for job hunt. I wonder when you post your resume out there on indeed or career builder, will you current employer know if they are currently hiring? Thank you.

Doing home infusions may be an option for you. I get calls over different meds, labs or teaching that needs to be completed. Drive to the home and the time varies depending on the task needing to be completed. I have had to teach patients how to completed their own home infusions, PICC line care, lab draws for Dr. offices or clinical trials, teaching self injections, IVIG infusions, abx infusions ect. When you get a patient you typically follow that one until service is no longer needed so you have the opportunity to establish a rapport with them. Depending on the assignment you could be there 20 minutes or 5 hours. You get to set the days and hours that work for you and you are the one that is setting the appointment up with the patient that gives you some flexibility with when you go see them.
Just another idea for you.

I'm thinking psych. You like to spend time getting to know your patients personally and helping them over the rough spots. You might find psych to be your niche. I enjoyed it for 15 years and it did not preclude me from going on to other areas of nursing when I wanted to.

OP
i don't think continuing to job hop is going to help you. You've had 3 jobs in 2 years. You can't get comfortable in your job or role if you're changing every few months. It seems like there is something more going on and getting another job you'll just run into the same problem. Can you specify exactly what you hate about nursing and what is giving you this anxiety? Maybe see that counselor you mentioned before you make any more moves
To Been there, done that. Thank you for sharing your experience. Is it possible that your current employer could see your resume when they are looking for job seekers via same websits?

Bedside/floor nursing sucks. Just my humble opinion. I'm not sure how some of these nurses do it for 2o+ years. The amount of responsibility placed on nurses on the floors is just staggering. I did it for one year and went to the ER and never looked back.

This was my thought too. Psych can be busy but is probably the only nursing area where finding "what makes people tick" is actually a part of the job.

How about School Nursing? It's mainly talking to children and doing small first aid things to help them, medication distribution and lots of paperwork.
