I believe every nurse should be skilled/advanced in meditation. It has the ability to heal and eliminate stress. In all of my years of working in ICU...its the only thing I found that truly was game changer.

This is why there are always telephone triage nursing jobs available because it is essentially a call center job.

I want to continue working as Per-Diem ICU nurse on weekends (2 shifts month requirement) and add remote full-time or part-time Utilization Review RN. I have started to craft my resume to highlight the following "Perform discharge duties: medication education, education outlined by MD and work with liaison at sub-acute/long term care facilities." Are there any other short term steps I can take to give myself a fighting chance to get this type of job? Thanks in advance C

trust me when I tell you that after while you will be clawing at the walls to get that boring public health job back.

Tell your cousin she is stinkin lucky ? I am in process of trying to get Quality position from home. Did she have previous experience?

I have noticed uptick of articles on this topic and it looks like good growth area for nurses. Curious if anyone has transitioned into this area. I have been interested in this area for while now and recently completed a very detailed nutritional analysis on ways people with diseases should be tailoring their diets. The grey areas of this niche is what I have concerns about such as: 1) educational programs look non-regulated and 2) what kind of insurance would you need to get this business started? Thanks C

Hey Alexander, Maybe we can create facebook group so others can bounce around their business ideas and tips on how to get things going. Thanks, Carl

I wanted to offer more of broad approach to any business idea (healthcare or non-healthcare). How this started was a nurse at work (late 50's) hurt her back and leg when chair at work fell apart when she went to sit in it. The hospital only offered bare min. of physical therapy for her. I would see her dragging her bad leg around for 12 hour shift and that just didn't sit right with me. I told her, I ran online business for 5 years and gave her few ideas to start her own business. She decided to start making soap from home and I showed her which platform to use (Wordpress, Shopify, Big Commerce) and showed her how to do her marketing via email list and social media. She ended up doing well and loves it and only works 1 day week in hospital (per diem). So I was thinking maybe of creating online course from soup to nuts showing how to build ecommerce business for nurses. But it would be a ton of work on my part and I wanted to see if there was even any interest in this.

Having worked in hospital for past 10 years, I can't tell you how many times I have met nurses who want out. The problem is there are no real good alternatives for them. While I was working in hospital, I was also building my wife online business. Alot of hours went into it as it was our first time running business. So my question is: Is there need to teach nurses how to start their own business online as alternative to bedside care. Thoughts?

Can you tell us why they have 3 month turnover with nurses? That's not good sign. But I run company with wife from home and can't really work 12 hour shifts any longer at hospital.

Hello, I am considering move from ICU nurse to tele-ICU. Just spoke with recruiter about tele-ICU positions in New York city and Houston. My wife and I might be moving to Houston in next 6 months. She mentioned I could shadow nurse at NYC location to see if I would like it. My only hang up is they are 12 hour shifts - I am looking to move away from that ridiculous shift to something more normal like 8 hours. She also mentioned the night time is where the demand is - I am looking for shift 3p - 11p. My question is - for those doing tele-ICU is there any flexibility at your place? Also she mentioned the Operations Center are close to Hospital. Why? Most hospitals are situated in poor/dangerous areas especially in cities. Why not set up Operation Center in nicer location since your vicinity to hospital should have no bearing considering its tele. For example in speaking to people who live in Houston they tell you to live anywhere but south east of downtown Houston. Well guess where this Operation Center is in Houston...south east of downtown. Thanks C

Hello, Looking to transition out of 12 hour night shifts in ICU. I run business with my wife and business has grown (not to point of totally being out of nursing yet). Someone recommended looking into inpatient rehab for 8 hour shifts. So basically I am wondering if I could find per diem 8 hour shifts from 7p to 3a once week is possible? thanks in advance C

is this night time also like 7p to 3a?

Hello, I don't think I have ever posted in general discussion area...so hello to everyone. Looking for ideas on how to handle my current situation: I run business with my wife that is growing but not big enough that I can step away fully from nursing yet. I am looking for ideas to work 8 hour shifts at night maybe once a week. 12 hour shifts are just too long while running business also. Currently work in ICU and just looking for any areas I could get into that will work with me. Thanks C

to be honest, I would not do this type of work at that rate. There are better options out there inside and outside of nursing. Continue looking.
