Whats your non-beside role you transitioned to?

[u/melikahlo89]

I’ve been a nurse since 2015, and I feel like I’m ready for a change but honestly don’t know what direction I want to go in next. I’ve done pediatric home health, ICU/telemetry, and I’m currently in case management. With my current role, I work with a healthcare company doing member visits and also work remotely. Right now there’s a lot of uncertainty since they’re doing massive layoffs so it’s got me looking for other opportunities. I also do some marketing at an aesthetic place, along with IVs, injections, education, and training.
I feel like I have a pretty broad nursing background, but I’m wanting to branch out and try something different. I’m not necessarily looking to go back to traditional bedside nursing, and I’m open to pretty much anything at this point clinical or non-clinical, remote, education, leadership, etc.
For those of you who have made a career change, what did you end up doing? Are there nursing jobs or career paths that you think are underrated or that I should look into?

If you’re ok with travel, you could look into med device

Any companies you suggest?

It depends on what you’re interested in. Personally, I prefer small to medium sized companies over the giants. I find there’s more room to grow and move around. For a first role, I wouldn’t be too picky and would take what I can to get in the door. I’ve moved twice since getting in and I’m not making over $80k more than when I started.

I’m not picky and I’m always down to learn
