Outside income

While working nights (my normal routine) and being bored;i got thinking about what my dear friend told me once about nursing opportunities outside of the hospital/nursing home realm which is very much prevalent in my area. But the wages suck to be honest unless your a traveler...which is almost convincing enough to quit my job, pick an assignment (most likely at my hospital anyway because they are so short) and reap the benefits without being "attached" to them... I digress.

Anyway, i was looking at making extra $$ on the side besides picking up shifts which aren't always open or fitting into ones schedule, not to mention I can't be in the flex pool for another year. What other jobs, part time, are there out there (online) that anyone's had luck with? I've done plasma donation on the side, but my H&H isn't always high enough even after iron pills ;(

My friend once said i should work for a company such as an insurance company rather than be a floor nurse. But i like the patient contact and doing skills. But... it doesn't hurt to look whats out there if you know what to look for which i do not...

I know there is call center nursing, but i was looking for something else more interesting (but maybe it is who knows), and allows me to use my license instead of picking up any o'l job at minimum wage. Can't I just be a consultant for some website and give my advice to people and get paid :)

Yes, im bored at work..

    I am looking at being a nurse for the plasma donation centers as a side job. Maybe home health.

    Free-standing Enema Clinic - srsly. Nurse friend opened a couple in Fl....cash-paying patients referred by physicians. She drives a Jag; purchases a new one every two years. This is just one example of a 'service' that is within the scope of nursing practice.

    Another ex-ICU nurse earns a nice living helping people sort out their healthcare issues. She started out just volunteering at church after Medicare become more complicated, but decided to charge when she started getting calls from people living in other areas who needed help deciding what to do with elderly parents who live in her city. So now, she is sort of a healthcare "go-fer", working as an advocate for her clients. Helping them to understand medical bills, make decisions about insurance coverage, evaluate nursing homes, etc.

    I pick up extra cash designing/developing educational programs/curricula for LTC & Home Care... traditional, self-study & online. I think the key is to leverage your own knowledge and abilities - there are a lot of opportunities out there.

    I have three jobs currently, all part time. My primary job is working two 12 hour night shifts a week and receive benefits there. I then work agency for another hospital where I may get called three times a week to work or not at all. There I make 10$ more an hour then my "normal" job and do not have benefits. The third job is a nurse consultant where I review patient charts for class action lawsuits. I do that from home in my PJ's for as many hours as I want. I still have enough time in between all of this to go to graduate school for my FNP.
