Nurses Relations
Published Nov 1, 2013
Please list your experience or knowledge of specific nursing specialties that have minimum patient contact (code brown, c-dif, etc), and what specialty provides the best hours? For instance working in a hospital versus a clinic? Thanks.

Go into administration if you don't want to work with patients and have a 9-5 not nursing.

Or therapist backwards...
or someone named t. sipareht...
or...
I think you might be reading too much into the user name.
Considering some of the questions asked previously (how much poop is involved in nursing) I can see this being legit.
To the OP: the jobs that don't have much patient contact and have good hours generally do require experience or at least an advanced degree. Other than that, try looking into outpatient settings. However, with the current job environment in many places being tight and your lack of experience, you should be prepared to accept that a new grad nurse isn't likely to get his or her dream job.

Everybody poops. If you are lucky.
I was actually upset recently because my patient hadn't pooped yet. Would have rejoiced over a large, soul-cleansing BM.

Cleaning poo is the easy part. What is not easy is when your patients BP drops, resps increase as well as HR, LOC decreases as well as urine output, etc.... And you still have 4 other patients to take care of. I'll take a night of poo poo instead!

When I was in school , poop was part of the program. lol.
Yep , have to pay the poop dues. Unless you are extremely lucky, or know someone....
Everyone wants the "nice job" with "nice hours" Even those with experience have a hard time getting those.
Maybe go into some other profession.

The only thing I can think of that you wouldn't have any patient interaction would be at desk job at say a doctor's office.

Why become a nurse if you don't want patient contact. In sorry but you're unrealistic.
You should do some research about what being a nurse entitles.
How about becoming a bank teller 9-5pm hours? Or anything that does not have patients written on the job description?
Good luck darling, you'll need it :)

I can't think of anything that would never involve patient interaction at some point. Agreed you should think of a different career.

Haha! LOL! "The Rapist". Wow you folks really do get creative! It does spell "therapist" backwards. I was a former respiratory therapist trained thru the Army route turned nursing student. I'm just wondering what my options are when I finish school. I really don't mind bedside nursing, but after being on med-surg for the last two terms I can say it is something I don't want to do long term. My rotations are limited and I really want to get a taste of OR and ER. I have heard they are two different worlds. I'm young and would like the ER environment or at least to see how fast the pace really is. And I want to experience OR to see the methodical ways things are done, and to see exactly what a nurse does here.
I do plan on pursuing my masters as a FNP as soon as I get at least a year under my belt. After my psych rotation these past couple of weeks and speaking to the CRNA I may even consider this as well, but I know how difficult it is for a new grad to get a position in an ICU to eventually get into a CRNA program.
Thank you everyone for your posts.

ICU usually has no aides.Guess who does the cleaning up of c-diff etc? If you want little patient contact and no care giving why are you becoming a nurse?
