RN Health Coach/Patient Teaching Jobs

[BE1111]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there are any RN health coaches out there that could tell me more about your job such as a typical day, hours, pay, do you like your job, what do you like, what do you hate etc.

I really enjoy patient teaching, I love explaining what I'm doing and why, what I'm giving them and why, and I love answering patients questions (when I know the answer lol), and explaining disease processes. Besides a health coach are there any other RN positions/jobs that focuses on patient teaching??

I currently work in L&D I started in March 2018 and before that I worked Medical Surgical / Tele for 11 months. Obviously I haven't been an RN long but as sad as it is to say I don't think I like bedside nursing. Were always short staffed, Doctors are disrespectful, coworkers are mean and rude, there's no team work especially in emergency situations, communication between management and staff is poor, way too much stress for the pay, etc. I could go on and on but that's a different topic.

Please help!

Thanks! :)

I did patient education in bariatrics a couple of years back. I was paid 60K/year. Hours varied but were pretty cushy. No nights, weekends or holidays but plenty of very early mornings. Usually home by 3 PM though. I got bored out of my mind.
