Hi guys, I have been a pain management and pre op nurse for the last 6 years and am interested in transitioning into a nurse, health or life coach. With all the education we go through to get our RN/BSN its frustrating to see all the certifications and requirements still needed to become a life coach or really any kind of coach. Does anyone have any suggestions on this? Has anyone made this transition and how did you do it? Any good online programs that dont require tons of time. I just dont want to go back to school and the thought of sitting for another exam is terrifying. I have looked online and am overwhelmed at all the many programs and courses out there for becoming a coach in a million different areas. Please advise me someone.

Hi Jen, I quit my job about a year ago as a pain management/pre op RN and I have been searching for a way to get involved in this crises from home. I would absolutely love to do contact tracing or answer a Covid hotline part time but I cant find out how to find these jobs. I live in OKC but our health department provides zero information on their website about helping out and it is almost impossible to get help on the phone. Should I keep trying with them or can you suggest another route. Our major hospitals post their open jobs but they are all for full time RNs at the hospital. I also dont know where to look for telephone triage jobs from home.

OK this is probably a dumb question but do your literally mean a company called Big Systems?

I am a Registered nurse with a BSN and have been working in pain management, however, I had to quit about a year ago for family reasons. I am wondering if anyone has heard of any telephone nursing jobs like telephone triage. Something similar to doctors on demand. I thought I remembered something called Ask A Nurse but I cant find anything about it online. I would really like to find something that I could do part time from home but not anything with insurance or case management. I just love the idea of Telehealth but am wondering if its just for docs and not nurses.

I am about to graduate from a BSN program in Dec. and am a much older student with three kids, so I have not worked during school. My concern is that probably 75% of my class has worked as a tech for much of school with jobs already lined up where they work, and I am starting to feel really inadequate and behind. Just listening to them talk and realizing the many skills they have acquired as a tech makes me feel like my skills are few and far between and i'm wondering if anyone is going to want to hire me. If I were hiring, I would prefer someone with experience, but with three kids it has been all I could do to get through this stressful experience. I still get nervous just taking vital signs. I could really use some insight from someone on the other side as to where I stand realistically. I tend to lack confidence and I really feel it is starting to show in my rotations, but I am truly a nice person and believe I could be a good nurse with a patient teacher. I am doing my leadership rotation and am basically still just observing, which is also making me stressed because I fear i'm not doing enough.
