I haven't been to this site in a long time, I look forward to "meeting" everyone again! I have been a floor nurse for the past three years and have grown to hate it. I am looking for ideas of other opportunities in nursing. I am an RN, but do not have a BSN or MSN. I have no other experience except the floor. I am excellent with computers and Microsoft office software (was an accountant before I became a nurse). I am willing to go back to school if the company I work for will pay for it. I live in California.
Can I ask you a question? If someone offered you a monday-friday, 9-5 office job (on call every other weekend) would you take it? I'm struggling right now with sticking with my 3 12's which is really flexible or going office in nursing admin. I enjoy my 4 days off so its kind of tough to commit. Nursing is back breaking, hard work but you cant beat the days off or the flexibility. With that said, I've heard private duty is the way to go, lots of my friends love it. It pays a little less though, but you have one patient that you can really get to know.
Can you keep the 12's and work in a different area of nursing?
