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!

Good Morning, Gil 607 Posts Specializes in Rehab, critical care. Has 3 years experience. Apr 6, 2012 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.

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.
