I am looking for second job to help knock out my student loans. I already work full-time (3-12 hour shifts) on an extremely busy telemetry floor so I would like to find a second job where I'm NOT running up and down hospital hallways for my entire shift. Any suggestions?

I did some temp/agency work-specifically signing up for really easy stuff (no inpatient). I ended up giving flu shots around the area where I lived for $30/hr. While there was sometimes some travel involved, it was reimbursed, the work was suuupppper easy, and I was always paid for the full time I was scheduled for even if the crowd coming had trickled down considerably.
The agency (Favorite Staffing...don't know at all if there is a location near you) also had some other "easy" opportunities like giving health fairs at pharmacies/etc. The only drawback was that since they are cake jobs you had to sign up or contact the agency QUICKLY once they were posted.

I was going to say giving immunizations but didn't know you could do that as agency work. Hmmmm, interesting.

I would suggest hourly-type private duty. I bust my sizeable butt in peds ICU as my 'real' job, and then care for an adorable vent-dependent kiddo in his home. I jokingly refer to this as my 'Netflix' job- because I watch a lot of it during the long overnights.
There are similar PDN jobs with adults. For me, it is just the right balance.
