Nursing jobs outside of a hospital or LTC

Looking for different options for employment outside of a hospital or long-term care. Obviously there are physician offices too. Basically I'm tired of 12 hour shifts and kind of want something M-F.
You know i feel bad too because i am young and most of the peole on here is rn's or lpn's! I have a question!Question: Which job feild is better rn's or lpn? I want to become a traveling nurse in a few years, what should i do?

A lot of hospitals are cutting back or eliminating LPN positions. I'm no expert, but based on that fact alone, I would think that RN would be the better option. It also seems to me that you would have more options as a traveler if you were an RN.

Thank you! but not only that i am new at this! where should i start? i went to job corp and got my certifications and took my state but she i go straight back to school to bacome a rn? or should i wait a couple of months? i been in job corp for a year in 3 months and i took cma and cna which make me a patient care tech. i dont know what to do i need help!!

Community health centers are always looking for good nurses. Most will also qualify you for tuition reimbursement from HRSA.

Thank you!! i do need the help getting alot of experience!

There are some other interesting ones. For instance, nurses on movie sets! Also, Disney World, Universal Studios and other places like that do hire nurses also! You said outside of a hospital or LTC, what about school nursing? Prison nursing? Working at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)?

I was recently hired by a home health agency;basically you need a car, a car insurance and a good gps system.Some agencies are willing to hire new grads.

But when u working for hha! You only have a few cases!! I want to work like 11 to 7 or 3 to 11! But i guess i take what they offer because times is hard! All around!! Thanks!!

When I do home health/hospice, I have patients coming out of my ears!It all depends on when you can get them to let you in and what kind of care they need (the patients). There were days I was done with a full load of 6 patients at 11am and there were days I was going out to teach an IV abx adminitration at 1800. Those were rare. Almost every single day I picked my son up from school at 1500 and went home for the day with some charting to take care of later in the evening.Once I had to drive an hour away to fix a sluggish picc line (turns out it was related to how the patient was holding her arm) for an 2300 dose of antibiotics but I was on call and got paid double time plus my mileage.

i guess i really have to look!! i am from new york city and it is hard!!!
