    I knew since nursing school that bedside nursing was not for me. I am a psych nurse for an organization and love it. I get really upset because I get many comments from other nurses and non-nurses saying psych nursing is not real nursing. Just because I am not at the bedside does not make me any less a nurse!

      I always tell people to work as a CNA in a hospital for at least 6 months when they ask me about becoming an RN. It gives you some idea of what you are about to go through as a nurse, especially if you have never worked in health care. It is rough and not for everyone. What do you dislike about bedside nursing? The answers will be a good place to start to let you know if you want to stay in nursing or get out. It is a very stressful job, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Your coworkers may be able to help you think of some other areas that you'd like better if you think you want to stay. You could start looking for other opportunities in your hospital system that are not as labor intensive as bedside nursing such as endoscopy or outpatient surgery. of Best of luck to you!

I've been a geriatric nurse for THIRTY five years. I've tried other things, but this is what I love. We have no backup specialists. We are psych/urology/trauma/hospice/med-surg/respiratory all in one. And these days, we've been getting admits straight from ICU. Anywhere from 17 to 50 patients/residents. And in some places I've been the ONLY nurse in the whole building. But for those who want long-term relationships with residents and families, this is it.

      @@oscarg1006 most of the time those places are hospices, there are for the elderly population that cant stay home because they dont have the physical and/or mental health necessary to take care of themselves. Those nurses dont work alone for 60 patients, that would be really dangerous and kind of impossible lol. The nurses have a team with them of LPNs and PSW, they manage the floor to make sure that everything is ok and provide care like vital sign, wound care, medication, mental assessment, admissions, palliative care... So yes there almost all in one nurse :)

      Yes! I love doing peds home health :) It is so gratifying to build a relationship with the munchkins, babies, and kiddos as well as their families. You get to witness their progress developmentally and medically over time. Helping to wean off of vents and g-tube feeds is difficult, but so gratifying to help facilitate. Some of the patients are quite high acuity, and stable enough to be at home is not really stable so much as it is "stable". Many peds home health patients are very medically fragile and clinically complicated. It is definitely a different level of self-reliance working nights in this specialty, but one that I love more than anything else.

As long as they are willing to train you, and provide you with a good preceptor it's definitely worth considering. The pace of learning is not quite as overwhelming for a new/new-ish grad as a hospital setting. You learn each patient's routine, medical history, care, and baseline 1:1, which allows you to build a stronger holistic framework for understanding all aspects of your patient's care.

    Grady Health Care System; is in urgent need of nurses and health practitioners
    Since Grady first opened in 1892, we have continually reinvented ourselves to meet the region’s evolving medical needs.
    In the 1890s, that meant providing the same quality of care for rich and poor, black and white. In the 1920s, it meant performing Georgia’s first open-heart surgery. In 2013, it meant creating the first neurological surgical suite within a dedicated stroke center to remove blood clots from the brains of stroke victims. Tomorrow, it will be something we can barely imagine.
    We are in need of physicians, nurses and health care professionals, who can provide Grady patients with unparalleled care in specialties like cancer, urology, cardiology, neurology, and chronic disease - as well as the more routine, like family medicine and senior care.
    Our vision; Grady Health System will become the leading public academic healthcare system in the United States
    Whatever the need, Grady fulfills it - even as we continue to raise the bar for medical care in the region. The world’s leading physicians come to Grady to practice here, teach here, and save patients whose conditions are beyond the capabilities of other hospitals.

    Love this, Blake. But I’m a Home health RN... I definitely don’t make my own hours and there is definitely not stopping between patients for a mandatory lunch break let alone a starbucks lol. I think things always seem a bit different then they are in reality. I suppose there are those that work per diem and make up their own hours. But not most of us. The thing to know about Home Health for those interested in it is to know you are out there on your own with your license flying in the wind so you should have a lot of varied experience because you see everything from new stomas to educate on, diabetics new to insulin, wounds of every kind you can imagine from wound vacs to profore leg wraps. We do IV maintenance and dressing changes/ foley care / gtube instruction/ suture removal and post op incision check from CABGs and +++. And the pt doesn’t usually have a hospital or electric bed so we are bending over beds and finding places on the ground to sit while we do leg wraps or wound care because sometime you go to a home and they literally don’t have a chair for you. The nice homes with AC in the summer are awesome, but more often than not you can be driving down a street of beautiful homes and the one we end up at is the broken down home with no AC, no parking close by and we are shlepping our equipment and supplies to get there. And the charting in a Home health environment has different regulations than other kinds of nursing since medicare guidelines govern our services. But if you’re a person you loves to be out and something different but likes to form relationships with your patients because they are usually on service a while... and you have a strong back lol, it’s an awesome job!

And often in very poor conditions. You have to get started very early because you will have a list of diabetics to get to and give morning insulin, and make certain they have something to eat. Then you'll start on your patient list for the day. You dictate your nurses notes as you drive between patients. It was exhausting and very long days. I would get home quite late. I would like to say that I really enjoyed working for the nursing agency. I was open to try anything so I did a lot of very interesting jobs : Plasma bank, IV team, every hospital unit from ER to psych to burn unit - I did them all because I was a certified critical care nurse. I think my favorite was recovery room.

    Hi Blake-
    Your description of forensic nursing actually combined different specialties within forensic nursing. I teach 2 classes in forensic nursing online for University of California Riverside Extension-your viewers are welcome to look at our certificate programs, including 1 for general forensic nursing, and 1 for those interested in death investigations.
    As indicated, forensic nursing bridges two worlds-providing nursing skills for legal situations.
    Most forensic nurses work for SART programs, because those positions provide evidence exams for both victims and suspects in sexual assault complaints. These exams are typically, but not always paid for by the investigating agency (law enforcement). SART nurses typically provide evidence exams for living survivors and living suspects, but they may also get extra training to conduct evidence exams on persons that have died as a result of the criminal incident.
    Jail nurses work with jail intake, checking injuries on persons arrested for nearly any offense. They also provide care for inmates that have chronic illnesses, like liver failure from drug abuse, hepatitis from sharing needles, etc.
    Psychiatric nurses can also be considered forensic nurses if they work with patients that have been ordered into psychiatric evaluation/treatment programs by the court, for instance when they are found to be mentally incompetent to stand trial for a major crime.
    A few Coroner or Medical Examiner's offices across the country hire nurses to be field investigators-they respond to reports of unexpected or violent death anywhere in the county to conduct an investigation into why the person died. The nurse works directly with the Forensic Pathologist both at the scene and in the morgue.
    As I indicated earlier, the forensic nursing program that I teach for is 100% online. There are other programs that offer more of a clinical approach.

    Being a nanny is the best nursing job ! Love those babies !!!!! I helped raise 10 children working for 5 different families over a decade. Best pay ever. I am my own boss. Beautiful homes. Lots of baby hugs and kisses. Parents are so thankful for your help and guidance.
