The Tree

Hello everyone, I am in need some advice or direction. After obtaining my nursing license after believing that nursing is not for me, I am finally working as a nurse out of orientation. I like the unit I work on and the people I work with; however, I still have issues working directly with patients and their families. I am an introvert, so active communications with strangers is very draining. I would like to learn about other careers, both inside and outside of nursing (still in healthcare) that would allow me to work indirectly with patients or maybe management opportunities or something. I work well with a team of people, it is the lack of familiarity I have with the constant flow of patients. I have heard of health insurance agencies and case managers, so if you have a position like 5hat please tell me what it is like. Thank you for your time.

To whom it may concern, So, I recently took the NCLEX and do not feel as though I passed or failed. Regardless, I am not sure if I want my career to be in nursing, or at least not as a floor nurse. I am more than a bit shy and struggled with interacting with patients, plus their family. By the end of nursing school I got to the point where I could function and perform my duties less awkwardly. It pained me to see my other classmates handle patients in skillful ways, hard to put to words but I am not sure if I would ever be able to advance my communication skills with strangers to that extent. That said, I communicate fine when working with a team of people. I managed to earn my degree because I have always been a good student and had the work ethic to learn what I needed to. Taking the NCLEX was a reminder that I might not be ready, and might never be. My parents want me to be the socialite that my siblings are, so strived a long time to reach that standard but I do not like it. The gist of what I am asking is if anyone has suggestions on positions for a nursing graduate, with no license, where I can help people with my degree without the constant communication between nurse:patient. I sincerely wish to help people, and part of that wish makes me believe avoiding the floor might actually be better for the patients. Lastly, not sure if this weighs on anything, but I am a mid-twenty male.
