I would really like to get into those other areas of nursing such as school nursing or diabetes education and such, can you offer any insight on how to get a job like them?

I do float. I float to about 5 diffrent floors. There isnt really any other jobs in the hospital I work at that would give me as many hours if I wasnt floating.

hi everyone, i'm a newer nurse and i could really use some help. i don't have anyone else that i know personally enough to discuss this with who knows what i'm going through so i really appreciate all of your feedback. i graduated with my bsn last year and have been working as a rn in a hospital in michigan as a float nurse for 6 months. i have come to dread the thought of going to work. enough that it has started to mess with my sleep patterns as well as makes have stomach problems when i get there thinking about the day ahead. i love nursing and helping people but i to a certain point hate bedside nursing. since i have been a nurse i have been told i am a horrible person by both patients and doctors because of things that were not within my own personal reach to accomplish. i feel overwhelmed on most days due to the lack of support other people are willing to give. before becoming a nurse i worked in an office environment as an administrative assistant where i worked under pressure and was never made to feel like i was a lesser human being. i am wondering what else there is out there that would allow me to use my nursing degree and have more of an office setting besides doing bedside nursing. i have applied for many jobs but keep hearing the same thing such as i don't have enough experience to work at anything besides bedside nursing with only 6 months of experience. the only other thing i can think of is a medical office assistant where the pay is at the same level and sometimes even less then i was making before i finished my degree. if you have anything ideas about what i can do or where i can apply or even jobs within the state of michigan or even jobs that would be suitable for someone in my situation i am open to relocation. thank you all in advance!
