NON-TRADITIONAL NURSING CAREER OPTIONS

Miki Rai June 20, 2020 8:00 am

When the general public thinks of nurses, they usually imagine the nurses that
work at the bedside in hospitals. Even throughout nursing school, my exposure as
a nursing student was incredibly limited to only inpatient hospital settings.
However, one of the things that makes nursing such an attractive career option
is the endless opportunities and diverse career paths. Nurses have many chances
for career advancement, further education, and opportunities to change
specialties or areas of focus. Outside of the hospital, there are
non-traditional nursing positions in outpatient settings, insurance companies,
and even at Disneyland! Here are a handful of interesting non-traditional
nursing career options beyond the bedside for Registered Nurses.


AESTHETIC NURSE

Aesthetic nurses, also known as cosmetic nurses, typically work at Dermatology
practices and medical spas. They inject botox and filler, perform laser
treatments, cool sculpting, and more. The work schedule is usually from
Mondays-Fridays, with lots of part-time and full-time positions. Certification
isn’t required but the Plastic Surgical Nursing Certification Board (PSNCB) does
offer a Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist certification exam. Nurse
aesthetics is a very popular field because there is more consistency and
flexibility in your schedule.


DISNEY NURSE

Yes, this is a REAL job, and you can work as a Disneyland Resort Nurse at the
“happiest place on Earth.” Disney nurses are responsible for responding to
medical emergencies for guests and staff at the park and resorts. The job
requirement is usually 3-5+ years of experience, preferably in the ER or
pediatric settings. As you can probably imagine, this is an incredibly
competitive job and doesn’t come by very often.


SCHOOL NURSE

School nurses work in the educational setting at public or private elementary,
middle, and high schools. There are nurses who work with specific students, and
nurses hired by the school district to oversee multiple schools.
Responsibilities include assisting students with feeding disabilities (i.e.
G-Tube feedings), tracheostomy care, catheterization, vision and hearing
screening, administering medications, and more. Depending on the state, a school
nurse certification from the National Board for Certification of School Nurses
(NBCSN) may be required. One of the biggest perks of being a school nurse is
that you normally have summers off, and your work hours are also between 7-4 PM
from Mondays to Fridays. 


REMOTE NURSE

Increasing opportunities are available for Nurses to work remotely at startup
companies, telemedicine practices, and insurance companies. Responsibilities can
vary greatly depending on what kind of position you accept, but it often
involves making phone calls and emailing patients, dealing with medical records
requests, processing referrals, and more. Licensing requirements for remote
nurse roles depend on the state, company, role, and duties. This career path
offers a lot of flexibility and work-life balance that embraces the digital
technology culture.


PHARMACEUTICAL SALES NURSE

Pharmaceutical companies often like to hire nurses because RNs have the
educational background and interpersonal skills to succeed in these roles.
Working as a sales representative typically involves you selling a product
(medication, medical device, etc.) to physicians and hospitals.  While it can be
challenging to find an entry point into this career, this is a highly desirable
job because it offers a more consistent schedule (M-F). This job also allows you
to use more creative skills, all while allowing you to still have a large impact
on patient lives. To help you break into this field, the National Association of
Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives (NAPSRx) offers a CNPR Pharmaceutical Sales
Training Program. This is not mandatory, but may help you stand out from other
job candidates.


BIOMETRIC SCREENING NURSE

Many companies, gyms, and wellness programs often promote their community’s
general health and wellbeing. A biometric screening nurse will take blood
pressures, administer vaccines, and draw blood for tests. Job duties include
promoting healthy living, providing education, and keeping the community’s
screening exams up to date. This job is often very flexible with options to work
as a contractor or full-time integrated into an organization. 

All of these nursing career options require that you pass your nursing boards.
