I'm currently working in a pediatric hospital and am getting extremely sick of the hours. I am having difficulty finding non-hospital pediatric opportunities. Any ideas?

Most areas have them, just ask your hospital's case manager where patients go when they don't go home.Pediatric home healthPediatric clinicpediatric same day surgery facilityClinical instructor for nursing students in peds
