Five Jobs for Nurses Outside the Hospital Listed on TravelNurseSource<\/h2>\n

\"jobs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Cruise Ship Nurse<\/h3>\n

Take your nursing career offshore and become a cruise ship nurse. Imagine getting to travel by sea from port to port taking care of people when they\u2019re on vacation. You know you will see it all, from those who are seasick to those who are booze sick. If you\u2019re good with people and enjoy a livelier group, consider working as a cruise ship nurse<\/a>. Plus, in your off time, you get to be on vacation too!<\/p>\n

2. Home Health Nurse<\/h3>\n

Home health nurses actually get to go into people\u2019s homes and take care of them where they are most comfortable. This is one of the more unique jobs for nurses outside the hospital. Often times home health nurses are used by hospice organizations, so this job can be very personal and challenging. You\u2019ll be caring for someone at home, which is nice for them, but you\u2019ll also be seeing them at their most vulnerable. Home health nursing positions<\/a> are ideal for someone who can connect with people easily and has a calming personality.<\/p>\n

3. Occupational Nurse<\/h3>\n

Think about how busy people in the business world are. It\u2019s sometimes difficult to drive across town to visit the doctor when you have many meetings scheduled throughout the day. This is why many corporations are now using occupational nurses<\/a>. Occupational nurses actually set up shop within a company and care for that company\u2019s employees. From people suffering from a common cold to someone getting injured in the office, the occupational nurse, with additional staff members, can help get corporate employees the care they need right on site!<\/p>\n

4. School Nurse<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re passionate about taking care of children, one of the best jobs for nurses outside the hospital is to work as a school nurse<\/a>. All schools need nurses, from elementary to even sometimes the university level. This will give you the opportunity to break free from the hospital while still practicing as a nurse. You\u2019ll likely get to build more personal relationships with your patients and fill an important role in their educational experience. The best part is you can decide what age group you want to work with!<\/p>\n

5. Flight Nurse<\/h3>\n

\"jobs<\/p>\n

The sky is the limit when it comes to jobs for nurses outside the hospital! Ok, I know that was cheesy, but seriously. If you don\u2019t want to work in a hospital setting and you aren\u2019t afraid of heights, consider working as a flight nurse<\/a>. This is a great transition for someone who\u2019s currently working as an ER nurse but wants to change it up a bit. As a flight nurse, you\u2019ll take care of patients in the air. Often times, you\u2019ll work with a medical team picking patients up at the scene of a crash or transporting them from small, community hospitals to larger medical centers. This enables patients to get the treatment that they need as quickly as possible, starting in the air.<\/p>\n
