outdoor nursing jobs?

[erinreed34]

HI, I am graduating as an RN this May and am curious if anyone knows of jobs for RN's that are mostly outdoors? I would love to combine my love for nursing with my love of the outdoors! Thank you!

What about camp nursing?

Disaster nursing, but that requires experience, and I'm pretty sure that's not the picturesque view/outdoor lifestyle for which you were hoping, though I think it would be exciting/rewarding.

another one to consider is flight nurse, which i did for 2yrs. loved it

Home health nurses spend time outdoors, but probably not in the kind of element that you're looking for.

Seasonal employment with the National Parks System?

Camp nursing, definitely! I spent a few summers as an RN at a camp for people (all ages) with developmental disabilities. Easter Seals would be a place to start looking. YMCA's have summer camps too that hire RNs.

isnt camp nursing seasonal.? what would you do for the rest of the year?

[RNsRWe, ASN, RN]

Camp nurse, two months out of the year, not exactly outdoors but if you're lucky you can sit next to a screen door.

But seriously.....no.

Edit: ha, I thought mine was the first answer due to a loading malfunction!
