NO. This is not another critical thinking thread. Sick of them.

When I was in shcool and even before, I heard having an RN license was valuable because there were so many jobs it made available to you. Jobs that didnt take place in the hospital or even have much to do with medical care.

Anyone looking into non-clinical options? Anyone already found one? What are they?

Erik, I could so see you... cruise ship nurse by day, and at nite at the piano in the bar.... "hey everybody, lets take the lights down a bit, and I'll sing ya a little song about back in the day... in med/surg" :D

You have not heard me sing in the shower, or you'd just say stay at the pool at night.

You can't be worse than this nurse singer (but he's great no matter how bad his voice is):

I'm glad you started this thread because I've been having the same thoughts. I don't work in M/S, but I'm getting tired of bedside nursing for the same reasons you are. I've been thinking about Same Day surgery a lot lately, but I've heard that they want ICU experience which I don't have.

I'm concerned that if I were to leave bedside nursing after only 2-3 years of experience, it might be hard getting back into bedside nursing down the road if/when I need a new challenge again.

On the other hand, you may find that you never want to go back! :)

I work in a Blood Center collecting donations from Healthy, happy people who want you to dtick them in the arm!
