Tired of bed side

Is there any jobs for new grads that are tired of bed side and medsurg. I have a year experience on a medsurg floor and I live in NY/NJ area. Feel free to post any links with job openings. Like case manager, mds, insurance companies?

To get those kinds of jobs you need a more dynamic approach instead of hoping they will just fall into your lap via a link posted on the website. Start spending your off time looking for places that would have those types of positions and actively pursuing them.

You should also look at health departments. I work at one and it is pleasant work.

Do you have a BSN?

Like a previous poster said you will have to do some research and actively look for the kind of job you want to do. Be aware some non bedside nursing requires a certificate in public health as well. It always pays to do your own research and due diligence before accepting a job. About 8 years ago I too was tired of bedside nursing or so I thought. I took a job as a consultant for a large corporation that manges and runs group homes for disabled adults. Instead of working 3 12 hour shifts a week I was working 6 8 hours shifts a week plus being on-call by phone 24 hours a day 5 days a week - it almost sent me over the edge. I did that job for 6 years. You may want to look into home health or hospice - or perhaps become a home infusion or P.I.C.C line nurse. Maybe think about becoming a Nurse midwife. All of these require extra training and certification. So start now and you can look for another job when the time is right. As for me I am currently getting my BSN and headed back to the bedside. I miss the three days on four days off autonomy.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

I have been an LPN for 4 years in long term care and after having my license on probation and monitoring for a year it has been impossible to find a job in patient care even with a now active license. I recently started doing medical chart abstraction. Same pay as when I was working in LTC, still get to use all of my nursing knowledge, and all without patient care of between 30-40 residents. I absolutely love it!
