do you have a hmo in your commute distance? i've been working at one for over 8 yrs now- still can't believe it myself!! i too was burned out by hospital nursing many years ago- and even worked as a secretary just to get away from it....but for the same company, i've had 3 different positions in these past few years, all requiring my nursing skills- currently am working as a "clinical case manager"- and truly love it!!! got to admit i wasn't too nuts about the first 2 jobs i had here. this is rewarding in that yes, we actually help members find the care/services they need. involves educating them regarding their disease processes, treatments, etc. the best part- weekends/holidays off, and compensation close to hospital pay. (considering there's no shift differential- but, hey, who cares??) look into it! also, try a headhunter to see what else is out there! good luck!:)
