What specifically are you looking for?
lucrative normally means a good salary (making 31 now-but waaaaay too much to manage)
manageable normally means...manageable. where you work your best for 8-10 hours and it's manageable, doable, etc.
what am i looking for? that's why i got on here, asking others what they do they feel is manageable.
$31 an hour.
those that would like to share, go for it. love to hear your stories, experiences.

What one person defines as manageable might be someone else's nightmare. Usually better-paying positions come with more responsibility and stress.
I've heard from folks who love doing case management with insurance companies, but I've done CM in home health and detest it.
Private duty in home health is low stress but not very lucrative.
You might get more responses if you can be more specific in what would make a job manageable for you.

Have you considered going to the big yellow bar at the top of the page and clicking on "Specialties," to get an idea about what's out there? It will take you days to read it all, but chances are very good that you will learn about opportunities in nursing you never dreamed of. When you find a few things that pique your interest, then you can start asking in that forum about money, challenges, and joys.
hi, thanks for comment, yes looooove my patients, didn't mind being in the homes etc yet the voluminous amounts of paperwork were horrid!! not sure what would make a job more manageable, probably 8-10 hours and being paid for that, then leave the job when you are done (worked many hours at my desk at home which made me hate the desk and home : / i'll tool around the specialties area. later

My friend is an RN with an ASN degree. She worked as a care coordinator for a company that owned and operated multiple group homes that housed clients with developmental disabilities. Now she is a DON at a nursing home.
