I thought I was giving up on nursing, but now I have 2 easy nursing gigs. I'm doing a little home infusion. I am also doing a part-time occupational health nurse gig at a construction site for a data center. That consists mainly of watching Youtube videos and getting free food from the general contractor snack room.
I'm definitely semi-retired now, and making decent money with not a lot of stress. I also pretty much don't have to wear masks, no one expects it at the construction site of course. And my home infusion clients really don't care either. I'm also not having to deal with a bunch of estrogen driven drama. That is a huge plus!
I'd like to hear from others who have escaped the hospital setting.
