Was your department not as busy to be able to do creative arts with patients? Are there other nursing specialties that could incorporate that into practice?

Hoosier: It's not that I want a job without risks because every job has them - it's more just wanting it to be more of a risk than it causing inevitable damage 😊 Even if some areas might not be given to new-grads, could they be less likely to cause t...
Would that even include an outpatient mental health unit? Also, would you say that I'm better off going with one of those other settings if I'm wanting to not get inevitable injuries.

Thank you! What jobs could my interests fall into? - Improving people's physical/mental health for emergency/non-emergency reasons (e.g general health needs). The list describes it better.
Also, do you mean because an NP can work more indepe...
It's more just wanting to know what I am getting into because as Hoosier mentioned it's not like on TV and because I'm not really well at the moment.
Would you recommend areas such as radiology nursing, nurse educator, neonatal, paediatrics, me...
