Something outside bedside

I’m currently doing a contract in a COVID unit. I float PCU, ICU. 
 

After this contract I want to try something else. My big options are home health, wound care, or infusion. 
 

I’ve been a nurse for 13 years, I’ve done medsurg, LTAC, ICU, and home health as an LVN/LPN. 
 

I only want to work a couple of days a week, and I wanna be able to travel for a few months in the Summer. 
 

I was thinking of doing some online training for Oasis paperwork and even getting oasis “certified.” 

 

I know home health can consume your life, and that’s not what I’m looking for. I figured I could do part time or PRN. 
 

Infusion nursing, especially at home seems like it would be a good fit for my needs, but I have no experience. I mean, I can put in PIVs and hang blood, etc. but I don’t know anything about IVIG or rheumatology or chemo. 
 

I looked at the training/certification for infusion, but it needs 1600 hrs experience with infusion therapy, which I don’t have. 

Anyone have any ideas or advice or notice something I’m missing? 
 

I just can’t handle floor nursing anymore. It’s seems like since COVID, everything has just gotten so much worse. I’m out

    There's also case management, utilization review, IT, legal nursing. I'm not sure how many contract opportunities there are in those areas, and I don't know much about the other options you're looking into. I guess the best place would be your placement agency, do they have opportunities in other areas? Good luck finding what you're looking for!
