Other Options Besides Bedside?

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on finding non-bedside nursing careers. I'm currently a bedside nurse and I'm not in love with my job. I've always known that I wasn't going to love bedside nursing. It's just so hard finding a different job because I have so many interests and so little experience. I only graduated nursing school last year and have been working 2 jobs (pediatrics per diem and full time med-surg) since then. So many "alternative" nursing jobs either require experience in the field or additional education. Any advice?

What in particular are you trying to get into? If you have your full year of medsurg, then check out places like Humana, Anthem, Aetna, United for utilization review type jobs. You might have to go temp to perm.

There are always smaller companies that are subcontractors, too. Just plug in utilization review and/or case management for your area into Indeed.

You'll probably have to be persistent.
