The quietest workplace

[scrabblern, RN]

What is the absolute quietest nursing specialty? A job where one doesn’t need to verbally communicate.

Nights are usually really quiet where I work. I'm on an ortho trauma floor, so most people get their pain meds and sleep through the night. Days, on the other hand, are super loud.

Maybe Research RN?

I do private duty with a person who cannot communicate.  I talk to her but it's obviously a one sided conversation.  I like quiet but sometimes it's even too quiet for me.

Chart abstraction?

I work in clinical appeals from home. I rarely have to speak with anyone. I play music, so it's not totally quiet, but it's noise of my choosing. ?

Private duty for TBI / comatose. You’ll have to give report but you won’t have much convo with the patient.

Have you been screened for depression?

Long Term Care at night only.

Hi Pixie RN,

I was wondering how you got into clinical appeals? I've been a Certified Case Manager for years but wouldn't mind a change of pace.

Thanks for any information.

LTC at night only I agree with Iluvnightshift. I work nights and it gets quiet starting at 11 ish but then you have those chatty co-workers and some patients that don't sleep at night

Clinic for the deaf. Specialize in deafness

[Orca, ADN, ASN, RN]

When I was going through nursing school, a circulating nurse in OR told me that he liked that he didn't have to chat much with his patients. He said that he basically introduced himself, said hello, then the patient was out the rest of the time. The patient was in recovery by the time that he/she woke up.
