I am semi-retired, but I  don't want to stop Nursing completely. I work PRN now, but the shifts are 12 1/2 hours. At my age, that is a long day, and I hate getting up at 4:30 in the morning to be there at 6 am.  

My dream job would be two eight-hour shifts a week, any days of the week.  My shifts would start at 10 am.  I would also love to work from home!  

Same here! 12 1/2 hours leaves my lower back screaming for mercy. I mostly work partial shifts to cover other staff that wants time off. Eight hour shifts are a perfect, and I hate getting up at 4:30 to cover a 6 am start as well.

I'm a nights guy.  Would love a nights gig where my job is monitoring the patients while they sleep.  Nurse concierge, "Can I get you a turkey sandwhich and warm blanket sir?", "Would you like an ice pack and another pillow maam?".  Like an overnight security guard or parking lot attendant with my current earnings.  Current reality is most nights running around like crazy from 1900-0730.  But there are some nights where everyone is stable and everyone sleeps and my body can get some rest.  I cherish those nights.  Any ideas??

Hospice or home health on call for after hours. Larger companies have them. I have a couple of friends who do this, and they still make good money without running like a headless chicken
