Jobs that older nurses do. (?)

[conroenurse]

Hey so we all get to a certain age where we don't (or can't) run the halls anymore.

Other than (gulp) retiring....does anyone have a job that they've taken after leaving hospitals, Doctor offices behind, but still require Nurses License?

[Been there,done that, ASN, RN]

I could still run up and down (loong) halls at 60.

Now I'm in case management, not because I'm older... but because I'm wiser .

I work with a lot of semi-retired nurses in private duty/medical foster home situations. It's an awesome arrangement, and as a new nurse, it really helped me adjust to the field (as nursing stubbornly refuses to function like nursing school taught me it would). We help each other out; I take the heavier patients and help them with physically challenging work, while they have calmly talked me through my patient de-satting, demonstrated all sorts of tricks and tips that made life easier, and showed me that colostomy bags and other equipment can be used in many, many creative ways (because the well-stocked supply room of hospitals are but myth and legend out here in PDN-land)
