Alterntative uses for nursing degree

I know this subject had been posted a few time before, but I thought I would see if anyone had any new ideas on other ways to use your nursing degree (specifically BSN if that matters) other than the typical working in a hospital, dr's office, home health, ltc- clinical settings.
I'm personally bored out of my mind with my job and like many others am having no luck getting into a hospital setting. I though I would explore other options but I'm not sure where to start, so I'd love to hear ideas on unique ways to utilize your degree. Last edit by Akeos on Sep 16, '11 : Reason: spelling error
I've noticed some postings for insurance companies and pharmaceutical sales positions requiring a BSN degree. I've also seen postings with health software companies or other computer/informatics types of positions.

As ajt575s posted those are some places to look. What I have found is a lot of places like that want TONS of experience or certification. I too have my BSN and am about 1/2 way through my Masters in Gerontology. Most likely I will end up going back to get a Masters in Ed. I've been in nursing a long time and really, for me personally, it's changed so much (and I know I have as well) that I am really no longer interested in much of anything in nursing. It seems more and more it's about the money and nurses are expected to keep this in mind..I didn't get a business degree and I know about not being wasteful but it's become very mixed - at least around where I live. Sad but true.

Clinical research (either on site as a nurse administering the trial medications to study participants, as a clinical study manager (I know a few companies (contract research companies & pharmaceutical companies that prefer nurses to any other background. Even with minimal experience)If you are experienced, medical device training and/or sales. (Such as an experienced IV nurse working for a IV catheter manufacturer or pump manufacturer doing on site trainings).With a BSN, you can teach CNA or LPN classes. You may be able to be a clinical instructor/practical lab instructor in an ASN (or BSN) program.Local health departments hire nurse case managers for special child health services.

What is your experience?

Aesthetic nursing. You can open your own business offeringservices, but depending on what you offer you would need tobe working with an M.D.

I only have 1 yr. in peds home health, I know its not a lot of experience but I'm having a terrible time finding a job at a hospital and I just can't stand the company I work for or the job anymore, i'm bored out of my mind. I just need something new

How about trying a peds medical office?
