Looking to grow and frustrated

Hi all,

I've been a nurse for a bit over 4 years now and love my job as a peds hem/onc/bmt nurse... but I'm restless. I've always held 2 jobs since I got out of high school to help put myself through college/nursing school and that continued after I got my first nursing job because I love having a diversified experience and being able to see different sides to nursing.

I'm firmly ensconced in oncology as my primary profession, but I'm looking to grow in other areas... I'm just not sure where. I've tried reaching out to other nurses on LinkedIn who have more experience than me and have run into mostly pitches for MLM sales jobs or silence.

I really want to explore positions that allow me to work with patients long term outside of the hospital, those with chronic conditions like diabetes, sickle cell disease, etc... maybe as a nursing health coach... but I don't know how to get started or even if this a viable career.

Any advice or guidance from those who have been doing this longer or who have felt that same itch to know more and do more would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

    I'm an oncology infusion nurse by day, and do a casual weekend position in a LTC facility where we see it all. Great "fun money" pay too!!
