I'm in a similar situation. Haven't been working for the past year and the job I had prior to that was a piece of cake. All I did all day was Covid testing and vaccinations. I have imposter syndrome and am really afraid to go back to nursing. I feel so unqualified. Ideally I would like something part time but so far haven't found anything. I'm in Orlando area. How do I get over this fear of not knowing what the hell im doing?!

Hello. I'm an BSN, RN who's been away from nursing for about a year. I'm unsure of what type of nursing jobs I should apply for. I want to avoid IVs and catheters, etc. (I'm fine with med administration without IVs and caths).
My main question is if I go into mental health nursing at a small hospital that only takes mental health clients, it possible to avoid IVs and Foley catheter insertions, etc? Am I looking for a job that doesn't exist?
PS. I'm avoiding positions such as DON or ADON for now until I'm back in nursing for a year or two. I'm also not interested in teaching. Any help / suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you!
