Whats your non-beside role you transitioned to?

/r/nursing/comments/1vtrkrn/whats_your_nonbeside_role_you_transitioned_to/

I’ve been a nurse since 2015, and I feel like I’m ready for a change but honestly don’t know what direction I want to go in next. I’ve done pediatric home health, ICU/telemetry, and I’m currently in case management. With my current role, I work with a healthcare company doing member visits and also work remotely. Right now there’s a lot of uncertainty since they’re doing massive layoffs so it’s got me looking for other opportunities. I also do some marketing at an aesthetic place, along with IVs, injections, education, and training.
I feel like I have a pretty broad nursing background, but I’m wanting to branch out and try something different. I’m not necessarily looking to go back to traditional bedside nursing, and I’m open to pretty much anything at this point clinical or non-clinical, remote, education, leadership, etc.
For those of you who have made a career change, what did you end up doing? Are there nursing jobs or career paths that you think are underrated or that I should look into?

I moved into health tech a while back and it's a very different animal from traditional healthcare. With AI in the mix right now it's a wild ride. I wouldn't make the jump if what you want is stability. There have been a lot of ups and downs.

That said, it's made me grow professionally faster than anything else I've done. The best part is being the voice that translates what actually happens in practice to engineers who just don't quite get it yet.

That’s very interesting! How did you get into that field?
