I've been an LPN for 15yrs. I recently passed the NCLEX on the 1st try. I am now a 50yo RN. I want more of soft nursing, outpatient, clinic, cath lab, OR w/no wknds/holidays and not the typical Med Surg floor. Why the struggle?

Not cath lab... On call weekends. Worked lots of hours . Wasn't a "soft nursing"

Try home health

How about School Health-you work when school is in session, but have to find something in the summer when school is out. how about Utilization Review at the hospital or a health insurance organization?

Congrats on passing the NCLEX! Should not be a struggle to find a place in an outpatient surgery center. I would highly recommend a place that performs cataract surgeries (they're quick- with prepping, the procedure, and recovery) but so easy. Also an endoscopy center would be simple. What struggles are you having? Maybe your location?

CONGRATS ON PASSING THE NCLEX. I HAVE BEEN AN LPN FOR 22 YEARS. 7 MONTHS AS AN RN AND I'M LOVING IT.

I have found a balance now, thank God. I do assisted living along with psych-crisis/detox nursing. I work when I want and I am happy with my pay. I never heard back from Incredible Health for ANY jobs, but kudos to those who have. The cath lab wasn't open on weekends, so it would have worked. The person who was hired in my place couldn't pass the drug test, I heard. It's fine now because I am extremely happy with my current position.
