I want out of healthcare so badly but as the sole wage earner in my family I cannot afford to start over in an entry level role in a new industry. I am so systemically exhausted I am struggling to translate my current skill-set to market myself into non- healthcare markets. When I say non- healthcare, I truly mean completely NOTHING to do with any direct clinical or patient related/facing anything. Anyone have any worda of wisdom or insight? Any positive experiences in doing this yourselves?

The closest I have been able to come is 1
Patient at a time in transport. Also, just applied for telephone triage working from home. That is probably the first best. Only contact with patients is on the phone. Pay is not 65 an hour. About half that. But no death. No running endlessly for 12 hours.

Ask yourself what am I good at. As a nurse it open doors for so many different profession but yes medical field. Right now I can name 2 companies needing nurses to do the most simplest things and get pay well. Sometimes jobs like that is all you need to recharge yourself from that grinding work you do.

Which companies?

There are IT jobs that need a nurse’s perspective. You can look at Clinical Informatics- you would work with staff to assist in there understanding of an EMR. You can also investigate some software companies. There is always a need for clinical experience there.

It would not be entirely out of healthcare, but it would be entirely out of the clinical setting. As an (I assume) experienced RN you can work from home in health care administration in roles like clinical data abstraction, revenue integrity, and more. Parallon/HCA healthcare has a lot of these positions. Feel free to message me if you would like a referral.

I would like a referral and am new to this Fishbowl site. I have been an RN with BSN for 15 years and have difficulties finding work that will not require the vaccine out here in the PNW. I truly want to work remotely at this point, but only have experience with remote work for 1 year. If you have any advice that would be great. I was an adjunct professor for 1 year in clinicals/labs and a tiny bit in lecture.

I've noticed that most industries like to see college degrees. No matter what the discipline. Look at job postings and read the description and see how you can fit it into your experiences as a nurse re: documentation, chart review, experience with technical equipment, attention to detail, customer service, positive outcomes , building relationships...etc etc!

like

I completely agree with all others here about clinical informatics. My husband was a bedside RN for 5 years and than transitioned to a nurse Informatics. He is now 100% remote M-F. He got his Masters in nursing informatics but you can transition into healthcare IT without a degree- such as a role in clinical consultant. Look into job postings available in your hospital. The beauty of Nursing is that you have so many avenues that isn’t purely clinical/direct patient care. It is possible to transition away from it! Good luck!!

Check out Clinical Analyst or Quality related roles. I use to work with a team of Nurse Navigators in office before the pandemic then we all went and became permanently remote. Standard M-F schedule and off holidays. I’m not a Nurse, but landed a quality consultant role. Just stay determined. You have a lot of experience and knowledge, just keep trying. I know it sounds better said than done.
