Non-bedside Nursing for BSN

[rmorgv2]

So, I've been researching non-bedside nursing jobs with no luck. I currently work as a Float RN for medical/surgical and tele floors. I've worked there for 4 months now and I am just not happy with it. I worked for 2 years in the ER before and I feel like I back-tracked a little. Although I miss the ER, I don't know if I want to go back. I wanted to try something beyond the bedside. Any pointers?

I currently work at home as an RN case manager for a large insurance company. I am about as far removed from the bedside as a nurse could possibly imagine.

Case Manager was my first thought because I have a lot of friends who do this exact thing and love it. One friend keeps try to recruit me by emphasizing that, "you can work naked" which seems like an unusual priority.

I'm sure you've considered community/public health nursing. A good friend of mine did acute care for almost two years and didn't hate it but definitely didn't love it. She ended up becoming a PHN and totally loves every second of it! You can tell when talking to her how passionate she is about it. She never saw herself as a PHN especially so soon after graduating but now she can't imagine leaving. In my area, they hire nurses right out of school for PHN positions, but I have no idea what the availability looks like in your area. Good luck!
