 | I am a BSN looking to get back into the nursing field but would prefer not to provide direct bedside nursing care. I have been looking into Case Management positions but notice that some job descriptions come up for discharge planning and utilization review. I would love to find someone who knows how all these types of positions inter-relate to each other. Is it a terminology thing or are they actually different positions. Thanks for any help or input!!

 | I like the idea of helping sick people, that seems like it would be very rewarding. I also like the idea of being on £20,000 per year!
I have seen pictures on the internet of people with severed arms and big open stomach wounds and I don't particulary like it! How grim does the job actually get? Do you just get used to it?

| I am a 56 year old registered nurse considering of taking a medical coding course. Working is really tiring me physically and I want to save my back and shoulders from orthopedic surgery if I can. I thought it might be a nice transistion into medical coding since I already have a medical background. I don't think I would tire as much physically.

 | I am of a small and slender build but will do anything in my capacity to assist and care for others.
What kind of nurse would have the least physical (and hopefully mental) toll on me?

| I am currently a 2nd semester nursing student and have been undergoing several different clinical rotation experiences. I've recently got to work on an oncology floor and now I am doing med-surg. I realized that I'm not bedside nurse material. Is there any other nursing fields I can go into that doesn't require being a bedside nurse? And for those nurses who think real nurses are only "bedside nurses" please do not write judgemental responses...I just need some advice to what other types of jobs are out there for nursing beside bedside nursing (i.e. Public Health Nurse, Nurse Practitioner). Oh, another question, if anyone is a nurse practitioner, please give me your input because I am quite initerested...any advice would help. Oh, hint...I do want to continue my education (but I don't want to be a teacher)

 | I've been a nurse for about 5 years. I've done a variety of jobs including; hospital, utilization review, disease management, travel and agency.
I have recently been hired by a small LTC facility as a Special Care Unit Coordinator. This unit is in total disarray. Their expectation for me is to "re-do" everything. The DON stated that they would leave all decisions to me as to staffing, activites, organization, education and even redecorating the unit!
I have never been in management, and I am more of a "type-B" personality. I make friends easily, can talk to anyone, but have never been really good at being stern.
The facility knows that I have no experience, but the DON stated that ANYTHING I do would be an improvement and that the unit can't get any worse.
What do you think should be my priorities? How should I approach this? Any suggestions on books or websites? Please, any ideas that you have to help me get my management career off to a great start would be appreciated.

 | I have fibromyalgia and chronic pain and fatigue. I'm 55 and find work exhausting to the point of missing a great deal of time due to illness. I'm currently on disability for vertigo and am afraid of what's going to happen to me once that clears up. I need some good ideas as to where to look for other kinds of nursing jobs, that don't require heavy lifting and being on my feet constantly. Any ideas? Thanks for reasonable answers.

 | Is an undergraduate nursing program really as hard as everyone says? I already have a Bachelor's degree, but it is not applicable to any specific career. I would like to go back to school for a degree in something specific (ex: nursing) and am in the process of figuring out for what. I'm scared of entering a nursing program and then being in over my head!
Also, is there a type of nurse you can become that does not deal with super intense situations? All I can picture is an ER nurse that is constantly having to revive people. Are there nursing careers that are more low-key?

| What would be a better career to have: A Registered Nurse, A Nurse Anesthetist, or A Pharmacist?
Pros of being a Registered Nurse: Doesn't take that long to become one.
Cons of being a Registered Nurse: Bad Pay
Pros of being a Nurse Anesthetist: Great Pay
Cons of being a Nurse Anesthetist: Takes seven years to become one and is very competitive.
Pros of being a Pharmacist: Good pay (not as good as being a Nurse Anesthetist)
Cons of being a Pharmacist: Boring job and takes 6 through 8 years.
Hello. I am a very studious person and I have had straight A's since the 6th grade. I really like socializing and being around people. I also love helping people. I really want to become a Nurse or Pharmacist but I don't know what to choose. Becoming a pharmacist seems kind of boring though because I love being around people. Please help me!
And explain your reason please. =)

| Try to make this short:
-Im an LPN student basically in the first quarter. I have a 3.8 GPA
-Im 24 and my previous work history since I was 18 has been in the Industrial field (factory work). Very good at whatever I do.
I currently work at a world known hospital as a Transporter (transport patients within the hospital Example: Take patient from their room to CT or where ever by stretcher, wheelchair or by their bed.
I Do not have class again until April. In the meantime I have just started working Extra Duty as a Patient Care Technician AFTER I get off my regular job.
((I work 1:30pm - 10pm then change into scrubs and head down to my floor))
Here is what i am getting at: I know Im ultimately trying to become an RN and maybe a Doctor. BUT... Inside-I feel as though I am wasting my time going for LPN and that there is something on a greater scale that I can make the most difference in and that is more me. It is in the medical field but im not sure what it is yet..... anyone offer any advice or whatever.

 | I just starting med school and LOVE it. I always wanted to be an RN, but i just hear so many bad things about the job. First of all are you really like a SLAVE? people just make it seem like your a worthless maid that cleans bedpans and bath people non stop. I have no problem with cleaning a bed pan i understand that sometimes it might be a part of the job, but isn't that the CNAs job or am i wrong? as an RN do you constantly clean bedpans, bathe pts, and change diapers? if so i might want to change my major. like i said every now and then i wouldn't mind doing it, but its definitely something i wouldn't want to do everyday and constantly. it would just make my life depressing. i mean im not gonna spend all my money and time in school just to become a slave. so please experienced RN's please give me some advice on this particular subject. also give me some pros about nursing. im getting discouraged.
