Case management, either for the hospital or for an insurance company. Outpatient nursing, such as infusion nursing. Medical equipment sales. Pharmaceutical sales. Community health nursing. There are a ton of ways to work as a nurse without the high acuity that is making it stressful to you. Before you toss the whole career, consider a different branch.

Acute dialysis is a good option as you have to have ICU experience. The patients are mostly 1:1. The positive side is you are pretty flexible and independent and you can read books while the treatment is going if the patient is stable. The bad side is you might need to travel between facilities and there's no definite end time because patients can get added on and there is some call requirement. I enjoyed it though and the money was good.

Home health or hospice. Offers a lot of autonomy.
One on one, while in the home or facility.
Dialysis just some options
