Nursing jobs are found everywhere, not just hospitals and nursing homes. Nursing careers have become common place in areas where they were never found before. Large corporations or places where manufacturing takes place will often employ a staff nurse to take care of routine and non life threatening injuries. Nurses will often work in insurance companies and evaluate medical claims or liability lawyers and review case information. Schools employ nurses as do children’s camps, vacation or beach clubs and visiting nurse associations.

If a nurse had an entrepreneurial side to them and a few years under their cap, a nurse could create their own job. They might start a CPR and First Aid class; provide nursing for events involving any number of people including children that might take place at a beach or a park. Vacation clubs might want a nurse on duty to take care of any routine or non life threatening medical needs that might arise. Perhaps you might want to contract out nursing care instead of working through an agency. These are only the tip of the iceberg in possibilities for a nurse with a sense of self employment.

Finding your first nursing job may take a little time. Before you begin your job search, you should have a plan. Do you want nursing to be a career or just a job? Answering that question may help you define your plan. If you have a goal in place, even before attending nursing school, it will create the career path and stepping stones for you. If your goal is just to have a job, your job search will be easier. If your ultimate goal is to be a nursing administrator or to teach, you will need education beyond a Bachelor of Science degree, a certain amount of years experience and some in a supervisory capacity.

Nursing schools often will assist graduates to get that first job. It can only be to your advantage to take advantage of all the help the school will offer. Many schools will offer their alumni access to job placement message boards through the school. Medical facilities will often set up job fairs in the last half of the school year. The purpose is to interview potential candidates for entry level positions in the nursing field.

Finding your second job will be a lot easier than your first. With some experience under your cap, you will be more marketable. If your skills are sharp and varied, you go to the head of the class. If you network within the medical community through professional associations, you might find the perfect job before it is ever advertised anywhere. When you look for a job, ask around and find out who is hiring. A facility might not know they need to hire you until they know you are available. Networking is the name of the game on the job market. Keep your resume and license up to date. Build your resume by taking professional enrichment and skill building classes. The more experience and training you have the more in demand you will become. Just be ready when the job of a lifetime comes knocking at your door.
