Has anyone here considered leaving healthcare altogether? I am really drawn by a role in tech, but I know it's such a big leap. I have a friend who did this though, and she is making even more than I have made as a travel nurse. Is it an anomaly or a real possibility?

I’m currently considering this. I’m on the revenue side of healthcare so it’s probably an easier transition as I can switch to a revenue cycle tech company but my fear is starting all over in a completely new field

like

I’m curious about your fears. I’m in IT - Revenue Cycle and honestly not many on my team are very technical. I mean no disrespect to them, however if you can consider yourself a super-user, I don’t see why you can’t make the transition.

I’m currently considering this too. Working through the pandemic has really taken its toll and I don’t feel like I’m a good therapist showing up for my patients. I’ve considered switching but maintaining PRN hours to keep my clinical skills

Not personally, but if you post this in the regular consulting bowl and ask for life sciences refs or recommendations you’ll get a bunch.

I saw a job for a pharmd to work on the tech side designing online Telehealth platforms and Apps. Think there must be quite a few jobs like that around right now.
