Some of these jobs you mentioned are not particularly appropriate for an OLDER nurse. For example, are you aware of how travel nurses are treated in many facilities? It can be grueling for even the most fit, younger nurse. Also, it seems you assume most older nurses have advanced degrees…most older nurses came out of 2 or 3 year programs. I am an older Associate degree nurse with 30+ years of mostly hospital nursing and not in the best of health. That limits the employment opportunities a bit.
I love your content. When I wanted to transition to a much slower paced working environment I wished there were videos like this. I found my niche by trial and error. Home health nursing was very appealing , plus the field was wide open awaiting for my expertises . Personally I like pediatric and home infusion therapy. I still work overtime if I don’t have anything planned because the physical demand is less Loving it.
As a former clinic nurse, my two cents: This is a SALARIED position. You will work easily 50 hours weekly with no overtime pay. They hardly stick to the traditional 8-5 hours, you can work for different doctors that come in at different hours throughout the day and if your doctor works until 8PM, you will be there until the doctor is done. You must have impeccable customer service skills, as you are kinda doing Telehealth. Your metrics will be measured by your ability to manage angry patients dealing with a system that have decided to make you the middle man. Lastly, it gets routine very quickly. You may get bored. You there’s little room for upward mobility, this is kinda the ceiling, your department manager may not be a nurse and you will be managed as if you are working in an office.
I'm a behavioral health nurse and aggression is a big deal and it is physically draining because we have to hold violent people. It's more dangerous with elderly people due to the level of dementia. Violence is dramatically increasing.
School nurses have to handle all sorts of situations. You’re going to have special needs kids to care for; kids with severe mental and physical disabilities, and dealing with angry parents upset they’re gonna need to pick their kid up from the schoolhouse isn’t a fun task either. Let’s not forget you might be the only nurse maintaining vaccination status records for school administration also. You got hundreds of kids who have medications they take during set times. Some of these kids won’t report to you to take their meds and you’ll have to send reminders to their classrooms to get them to comply with medication. And that’s not even the half of it. You’re also going to have young female teenage students having their period or having STI’s that haven’t been properly diagnosed; teen pregnancies, in school sex assaults and other crimes or incidents like that to deal with… yet most these things will be an automatic trip to the ER, but you could be that first person they report to. If you’re thinking a school nurse job will always be cake you’re highly mistaken, and the pay is usually extremely shitty, even if you’re getting the summers and holidays off.

It’s important to remember that nothing is for everyone.
Worked in hospital setting for first 13 years of my career, and I’ll never go back to it no matter how much they pay.
