I'm a nurse. What area of nursing can I work in that has much less stress? |
I'm a 43 y/o male nurse and have been a nurse for 13 years. I have worked in ICU/telemetry and have also worked in hospice homecare. I'm currently working in a rehab facility. I am very much a type "B" person---I'm laid back, more of a "thinker", and I don't do well with stress and constant distractions, which seem to be such a factor in nursing work. I'm reluctant to leave nursing as I like the pay, but what area or related area in nursing could I work and still be happy? Nursing is so broad today and there are jobs in all sorts of settings, clinical and non-clinical. Clinical drug studyies for a pharmacutical company Do you think, maybe, you're too stressed in the clinical/hands on situation? You might probably be more comfortable in a Care Management type setting, where you can continue being involved in patient care by making care placement decisions according to acuity, and correlating their diagnosis with insurance eligibility. It may be time for you consider the possibility that clinical burnout has arrived, better that you recognize it and make a change before you decide that you don't like nursing anymore, feel trapped, or begin to hate your job. lol, dude, The life of a Nurse ain't easy.... Well of course you are stressed. You were in ICU and hospice. Those are two hard areas of nursing. I would say go to a private clinic setting (doctor's clinic office). The nurses I worked with in the clinic setting didn't seem to have the stress like the ones on the hospital side. Maybe teaching. Nurses can teach nursing student or CNA's or maybe Nursing Administration. If you like kids you could be a school nurse. Try school nursing, research, clinics, or a psych unit. Since you have a lot of experience consider teaching, LPN schools hire RN's to teach. |
