I worked for over 20 years as a nurse coordinator in a specialty clinic. Patient care, plus so much more. Took critical thinking, assessment skills, education, loved it. I was able to use my nursing skills but worked 5 days a week, supposedly 8-5 but always longer.

You forgot about flight nurses and CCT nurses on ambulances! They make bank, because a lot of them do it on the side after their full time nursing job.

Care Management!! ❤ yay.....been a Care Manager for most of my Nursing career. It's amazing, all about the people and getting to know and help outside of their hospitalizations. I am blessed to be able to follow up with patients for years.

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.

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.

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!

I worked as an agency nurse for a while and one of my many jobs was vacation relief one summer at a home health agency. I mean to tell you - these folks work hard! 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.

can you plsssss do a video on office rn nursing i really wan to get into it but I don't really know as much .

Hi! There’s also hospice, flight nursing, traveler nurse, utilization review nurses whom also work from home 🏡

I'm an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in a pediatricoffice. I start as a bedside OB nurse. I get to teach parents, residents, medical students, nurses, anyone who wants to learn about breastfeeding. I also get to help babies feed.

I wasnt financial free as a nurse until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made. Great

@@eadad4371 Alright so generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (REGINA LOUISE COLLARO) an investment advisor who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She is quite popular for her services so you might have heard of her. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy...So I’ll advise you do get a good Investment advisor for yourself.

@@skoopqueen. I have had the intentions of starting investing. But I always thought it was late and I think I need to stop procrastinating. I will definitely 🔍 Regina Louise Collaro and see what she can advise .Thanks a lot . This was of so much help to me .

Hey has anyone heard of a “fitness nurse”? I love fitness and teaching it and I would love to be able to combine the two together. I have researched that some locations have a gym inside the hospital, and that nurses help with operation of these facilities. Any thoughts or comments would be great.

Am I the only one who does not like bedside nursing? I am about done with nursing school and I honestly hate bedside. I found out during my first medicine rotation that I hate it. I have heard so many nurses and people say you should start in medicine even if you hate it. But I honestly cannot see myself working in a medical/surgical unit. I wonder if something is wrong with me haha. Not sure how many options I have if I hate bedside as a new grad 😬

Love your videos Blake!! You are spot on, and as a nurse for over 30 years, and you make me laugh out loud even after all this time. The one thing we have as nurses is the ability to make each other laugh!! Thanks for showing all the opportunities out there. I hope the nurses who are starting out really think about the most important member of the team- the patient- as I am reading a lot of comments on how much nursing "sucks, etc?? There are a lot of opportunities, but before you jet off to work at a resort, or any other nursing option, take the time to really learn the profession, and how to BE a nurse. With COVID 19, my mantra of "everything begins with Med/Surg bedside nursing", was shown to be accurate in spades!!! Some of the craziest, beast-mode, like being at a war front, terrific nursing ever seen at my, and other hospitals!!! In the pause, I encouraged nurses who had never seen or done the things they had to do, to be proud, and to take the experience for what it is. Now the confidence level and appreciation for the job is palpable, even on tough nights. Nothing bothers or throws them off kilter now!! Kudos to all nurses out there and be safe!! No matter what type of nursing you decide to do, remember that you represent ALL of us. Corny, maybe, but true.
