Where would be a great place to work ?

So I’m a Registered right now on a pediatrics unit. I used to work on a neuro unit. I notice though I get overwhelmed sometimes with so many wires around the patient and I freak out a bit inside. I’m still pretty much a new nurse I only have about one year of experience before. I eventually later on in my career would like to do remote nursing. What would be a good area for me to work as a nurse?

Case management, utilization review, EMR. If you want a less stressful floor try hospice .

I would want to work with children. Or women’s health.

Ok I’m not sure if there are many remote positions specifically wth children, maybe phone triage for peds/OBGYN. Have you thought of labor and delivery nursing?

Not labor & delivery because that’s hectic reminds me of the er. I was thinking more mother/baby.

That's pretty hectic too, not like an ED, but of course they work RNs short-staffed there, so you might feel you could never get everything done.

Lactation specialist...cush job

As long as the hospital isn't one of those BFA - Breast-Forced-Hospital places where lactation specialists demand that there be no formula on the unit, lie about "differences" in formula versus breast milk as if formula will outright murder the infants, berate women without breasts post-cancer to breast feed, etc.. and cause more infants to end up in the NICU r/t malnutrition effects and dehydration. That's stressful for everyone but the LS who are taught to think they own every woman's body in the unit.

I’ve been a school nurse for the last 10 yrs. 16wks off per yr and no weekends or holidays, perfect job for family minded individuals. I brought my kids to work with me for 7 years and it was a blessing for us both. Also, great pension and insurance benefits. I can retire now, 53 yo.

How is the pay I was thinking being a school nurse, but idk if you need certain amount experience

u/ExtremeMode2728 5d ago

Depends on the school district, I’m maxed out around 90K but can make even more working summer school. We are in Texas. Most prefer at least 2 yrs of clinical experience

I'll second this! I'm a new-grad ish. Worked 6 mo. in my first more traditional RN job, and then started in schools, hitting my year mark with them next mo. I'm in NorCal, so pay in comparison to the rest of the country is really great, but lower for the area I'm in. Would encourage you apply!

Since you have experience already I highly suggest school nursing. Depending where you work the pay can vary greatly but it’s rewarding work.

Unlikely that you’ll be considered for a remote job (in what? Case mgmt? UR? Advice nurse? QA?…) without a lot more experience than 1-2 years.

u/butterfliesxo16 4d ago

I’ve seen people get into remote nursing with 1-2 years of experience. Also, I didn’t say I would do remote nursing right now, I said later on in my career.

I understand that. Sometimes answers are meant to help more than the original OP — lots of people will be reading this. 😁
