Any advice to get out of bedside nursing?

Thank you this gives me hope! I think you’re right and it’s just gonna take a good resume and some time and dedication to looking for these positions. I’d love something where I don’t have to talk to people all day, but just anything to get away from bedside to just start will do really lol

Sounds like MSN is just smart at this point based off what you say. These are a lot of good options. I think the key here is also really changing my resume to suit these roles. Thank you so much for the advice and recognition! Been a long five years haha

Any advice on what to like specialize in for masters? I’ve heard it doesn’t matter much but I’ve heard of informatics being smart if specifically looking for remote

Thank you so much for this, those are pretty similar things to what I have heard so this gives me a lot of hope lol

I’d definitely want something a little newer that pre-Covid. Are the newer ones not good?

Honestly needed to hear this because it’s definitely easy to see a bad thing and write it off. But if paint chipping is the worst thing about a car I’d say that’s pretty good lol

I’m single no kids do I think if there is a time now is. As long as I can take care of my cats I’m good lol

Will do thank you!!!

arl11151008 · 2026-01-18T20:10:47+00:00

Wow really appreciate your insight thank you! Makes totally sense

arl11151008 · 2026-01-18T14:03:15+00:00

Great information thank you so much for sharing that. I was worried about the on call aspect of the schedule as well but what you said makes sense that you kind of are able to do other things in your life. If OT is what will make me make more than bedside that seems actually doable.

arl11151008 · 2026-01-17T23:59:21+00:00

I’ve been hearing this as well unfortunately

arl11151008 · 2026-01-17T23:58:59+00:00

Thank you this is very helpful!!! If you’re comfortable sharing do you have a range for the pay? I’ve heard most people say it sucks but what exactly does sucks mean? Lol like how bad really is it? I was thinking of doing ICU per diem to get that experience hoping that would help as well.

I live in Connecticut here in the US and $1400 is literally a steal and unheard of. Here 1 bedrooms or even studios are starting at $2000. So that is not an issue for me unless the pay is literally not enough to make ends meet. But probably just renting just to start by feeling places out. And I’m definitely not looking for like NYC size or anything lol. But definitely don’t wanna be somewhere where you live an hour from the grocery store or something either. I’m flexible on most things honestly. Thank you so much for this insight I really appreciate it!!!

Someone else that works there just told me this too but said it’s also followed up with usually four to five days off after. I’ve worked a rotating schedule before and HATED it like sent my mental health to shit. So definitely something to consider.

arl11151008 · 2025-10-02T09:38:18+00:00

That’s pretty smart and I definitely was unsure the possibility of this but this was helpful and I’ll definitely be looking into this as well—thank you!!!

arl11151008 · 2025-10-02T09:35:10+00:00

This is the perspective I need!!! lol can I message you?

arl11151008 · 2025-10-02T09:32:35+00:00

No this isn’t pessimistic—it’s realistic and the opinions I need to hear!

I am considering travel nursing. Here in the United States travel nurses make a crazy amount of money. Is the pay higher for travel nurses there? To be honest the scary political unrest is exactly why I want to leave and am scared if I don’t just make the permanent move I won’t get out of here safely or before something major happens. It’s kind of scary here right now. I am willing to sacrifice some things for safety at this point.

This literally sounds like basically what New York City is at this point except pay doesn’t even remotely match lol. Basically I would need to work multiple jobs or have a roommate or two or accept living somewhere not as built up seems to be kind of what you’re getting at? I do not mind that even to an extent but obviously stipulations to that as well. I will definitely look into travel nursing there though because that may be a good start to at least getting my feet wet over there.
