What sort of jobs are a good fit for a BSN prepared nurse that has 29 years of clinical experience but is ready to leave bedside nursing?
Home infusion, Primary Care clinics, retirement LOL🤣. Honestly I’ve noticed the pay to be about $30.00 less per hour for non hospital work.
Case management, quality, clinical educator, nurse navigator, phone triage, clinical documentation, teaching in CNA/LPN program or RN program clinicals, AHA testing for BLS/ACLS/PALS, management, nurse recruiter, informatics……endless possibilities.
Hospital based outpatient clinics generally are in the same pay range but are not the same as bedside nursing. I too have that type of experience and I currently work in a heart failure outpatient clinic for the same pay as bedside nursing for the same years of experience. Good luck!
Triage nurse
Consider informatics, your bedside experience applied is valuable!
Case Management is an avenue to consider.
We have nurses who audit charts to make sure we are documenting in such a way that we are getting full reimbursement, not sure what the Dept is called.
Clinics, clinics, clinics. Family medicine, Cardiology Clinic. Facility management.
You have a lot experience that translate to a variety of nursing jobs outside of bedside nursing.I just left bedside nursing after 40 years at bedside and just started a hospice job as a field manager.Your bedside skills can translate to many outpatient jobs that you can adapt to. More paper work but stay humble and open to new experience and good luck
You can become a clinical nurse leader. Depending on where you are located and what you are looking to NOT do. Make a list of what you will and will not do.
Chart auditing. Teaching. Quality control. Legal Nurse Consulting. Director of Nursing
You would be a perfect fit for telephone triage! All remote for most positions.
I think being a Clinical coordinator or clinical educator will not be bad at all
Operating Room Nursing!
Case Management
Bedside assignment
Home Health
Nurses in legal services
Nurse educator
School nurse
Consider Nurse educator, telemetry tech and work from home opportunities
There r lots of telehealth answering service jobs working from home

tel.nursing is bedside nursing! you take care of pts and watch their monitors!
Some people I know have gone into education. They have also gotten jobs in infection control. Some have gone to clinics / physicians office. If your facility doesn't require a Master degree you may go into management
Mostly depends on your area the jobs that are available in your area. Many hospitals require a BSN just to work at bedside so it pretty hard to advance.
