Nursing Jobs for a Disabled Nurse

[bbyRN, BSN, RN]

Hi. I'm looking to support healthcare in a decent job using my RN but as an RN with a new disability. I am about a year post bone marrow transplant (BMT) and in the process of living a new life with graft-vs-host-disease (GVH, GVHD), after effects of myeloablative induction, etc. I struggle with physical and cognitive fatigue, though it's getting better; work-out but it takes days to recuperate; have to stay away from highly infectious environments; have difficulty with appetite and weight; and so on.

But I can walk, talk, chew gum, use a computer and EMR and other software. Continue with continual education. Advocate for healthcare, healthcare professionals, and patients. It would be very cool to work for a good organization - wouldn't we all.

If anyone has any ideas and websites to look into, please let me know. It will not only help me, it will help a lot of us.

Depending on experience types and length you have, you could look into telephone triage, insurance company case management, or online nursing course instructor just to name a few.

I recently had a organ transplant now currently looking to return to work. I would try insurances companies. Many offer a flexible schedule or. Work from home experience (less risk of infection). Try health, auto, life and Medicare/Medicaid and third party Administrators of each. You’ll find something!!

Thanks Rose_Queen and RNLovinglife ?. Here's a website that might be helpful for anyone looking for a remote (work at home job). Flexjobs.com. You can look around and see the offerings yourself. I am amazed at the quality of the website and the job searching filters. There is a pay for its services. I think I paid $30 for 3 months access because 1) I was wowed by the services and quality and 2) it looked good enough to get my feet wet in this job search for a remote job. We can set up job notifications for nursing jobs in whatever state, for part-time or full-time, employment or freelance, 100% remote or partly remote.

Wishing you all well and a good recovery from the transplant RNLlovinglife. I have come to the conclusion that for me, given the BMT and my complications, it's going to be a roller coaster for the rest of my life. I'm getting more comfortable at accepting that. Thankfully, my BMT careteam has been fantastic - not perfect, but that's not possible and only leads to a waste of life and disappointment.
