Nursing outside of the hospital

Published

I've been nurse for a year, in the operating room. I do like my job, but I don't think it's where I am supposed to end up. I'm not that interested in floor nursing. I am looking for other options to look into, outside of hospital nursing, where I will still have patient contact and not behind a computer or on a phone for my entire shift. ANY AND ALL suggestions are appreciated!
