Hi! I hope this video inspires you to get out of your comfort zone. Trust me, I have been there. I stayed at the bedside for many reasons but I finally was brave enough to make a change. You are the only one responsible for your own life, your own decisions, and you need to be happy where you work!

I have a total of 6 months at the bedside technically, but only 3 of those months truly count (the other 3 months I was a nurse Extern). I landed a job in an outpatient surgery clinic. Four 10 hour shifts a week, closed on the weekends, 3 day weekends, no holidays and it actually pays me more than what I was making as a new grad. Take a risk everyone!! Some outpatient centers love new people because we don’t have any “habits”, and they can train us from scratch.
Yesss good for you! Thank you for sharing your experience! :)
What state are you in? did you find that job on indeed ?
What state ? Most hospitals around where I live require a contract making you stay at least 2 yes for new grads
Im just gonna do my full year of experience as a new grad, I’ll quit bedside without looking back
@@cieraculton7065 I don’t know about you, I quit my contracted first job, several of my friends just like me, didn’t last long in first job. Hospital didn’t come after us for the money
I left Nursing, as an RN, BSN, ACLS/PALS, CERN, and went back to school for Chemical Engineering. I never looked back, and now make 5 times what I made as a Bedside RN.
Glad you found a career that makes you happy!
Life As Wendy RN I spent many years using the profit to fund foreign missions in Central America, and Clinical Planting, through “Fastaff Nursing,” and then realized they needed clean drinking water, water wells, and so much more basic needs than I knew how to provide, so I went back to the drawing board, and really figured out a way to help. YOLO, praise God I had time to get it right and really help people and communities. And Praise God for all the help I received along the way to make change happen!!! Amen❤️
What do you do as a chemical engineer?
10 years bedside. Please listen to her leave and take a risk. 2021 I have to do this for myself
Lol a year in and I can't wait
I have only been working bedside for about 2 months and im already hating it 😭... Thanks for the video it really made me feel so much better about wanting to leave
You’re welcome! There are so many nursing options out there
I totally relate to how you felt scared to leave. All the reasons you voiced are so similar to me but faith pushed me to leave and if it was up to me I’d still be going to work feeling depressed. Just believe in yourself and put yr happiness first. Wonderful video. I’m subscribing right now
Thanks Beverly! I found that stepping out of my comfort zone opened up so many more doors and I am so grateful I took that leap of faith.
Hi 👋🏼 As you can see, my uploading schedule has changed. You asked for weekday morning videos and here you go 😊
Let me know in the comments down below why it is that you are trying to leave the bedside? Did you relate to anything I said in this video?
The whole time I was watching this video I was thinking “ how do you know exactly how I feel ?” I’ve been working night shift in the float pool as a new grad for the past 5 1/2 months and I’m missable.
girl I've been there! take a risk and don't settle
I needed this 🥺❤️
janet naranjo good luck! It will get better. You just have to take the risk 😉
So I have been a nurse for 5 years. I have switched hospitals 3 times, thinking it was the hospital. But, I have now realized its be that cannot do bedside. In March I got super sick with COVID19 and almost died, now I am furloughed and know for a fact I can't go back to bedside. Im still dealing with the side effects of COVID and I am done being miserable at work. I am concerned though that I will be forced to go back to bedside, if I can't find a new job soon.
TheMissLillian I’m so sorry but I am glad you are alive! Start applying for jobs that interest you that are outpatient. If you know bedside is not for you, try outpatient surgery or outpatient clinics, either primary care or specialties. You can also try your local public health dept or try applying for remote jobs. Or if you want to stay at a hospital, apply there for case management, discharge planner, quality management, or utilization review. Good luck!!!
Oh man that’s horrible. I hope you are feeling better now. Bedside is hell, so corrupt by the corporation. It’s all for profit and not for patient. It’s so evident and we nurses get blame for everything. The money is just not worth it seriously. I’m thinking to quit my nursing job for good and go back to my old business.
I love all the content you put out! Just subscribed to your channel!! 💕
Giovanna R so glad that you’re enjoying it. I love helping out others 😊 thank you!
Here in my city the job you get depends on who you know not what you know :(
I think knowing someone definitely does help BUT don't lose hope. thought I would never get the clinic job I was working in years ago because it was really hard to get into that workplace. To my surprise I got the job and no one helped me. I was so happy. What I am trying to tell you is to apply anyway and don't lose hope. You just never know when the best opportunity for you will come. Keep applying! Best of luck ;)
There are things I loooove about working in the hospital, the hands-on skills, the things I learn, the challenges. But I am even more passionate about preventing disease with lifestyle changes. I’m enrolled in a nurse coach program this spring, and my goal is to have my own private health coaching practice! But I am struggling with leaving the hospital. My dad was an ICU nurse and I always dreamed of being as smart and esteemed as he is. So I am still so torn. Some days I feel like I have to be a martyr for the profession. Any advice???
Kaylee Peil since that is your goal, I would advise to pursue it. You can always work part time or per diem in the hospital if you would like to continue working in the hospital 😊
How is the program going? I want to take a similar path honestly and I’d love some tips!
@@mexicanakinskywalker6762 I finished the program and launched my coaching business in August! I would highly recommend the Nurse Coach Collective!
@@kayleepeilrn thank you for the feedback! What do you like about it? How long was the program? And was it difficult ? I have a trainer background. I’m curious to know how that would tie into it. and what are the hours like?
@@mexicanakinskywalker6762 Here is the page with more info: thenursecoaches.com/tnccp/
It’s a 6-month program, online with some group zoom calls throughout. Very flexible as you can always watch the recordings if you can’t make it. The most time-consuming part is the coaching practicum. I’m sure what you would learn would align well with being a trainer. You do need to have a nursing background for this program. It’s definitely more focused on the overall art of coaching and not on specific nutritional advice or protocols (which we shouldn’t be giving out anyway.) definitely check it out!
You owned a house at 23? Wow!! That is amazing! You should be proud
Thank you! Worked hard for it
Graduated last may, Covid icu step down RN since the beginning of my career. I really started doubting myself if nursing was for me... I need to jump into an office!
Yes, please don’t feel like you’re stuck! Many many options. You’re almost a year in and that is valuable experience. Good luck!
Hey Wendy!
I just subbed and I have been a BSN-RN working for the State of California for almost 7 years mainly in psychiatric care in a correctional/rehab setting. That being said, certain events have happened to me causing me to have to phase out from bedside nursing. I was hoping to email you privately about some questions or tips on applying by email, but I do not want my email to be out here in the public. I don't think UA-cam allows for messaging anymore, either.
I also wanted to say thank you for being so inspirational and brave to make the content you put out. It has given me hope for my future.
cho-fin thank you so much for your words! I don’t have an email for my UA-cam but if you happen to have Instagram you can direct message me there.
I’ll definitely have to think seriously about making an email account specifically for UA-cam because I have had multiple requests for it.
@@LifeAsWendyRN Thanks for reaching back out so quickly!
I actually do not have an Instagram. Maybe I can just post my email here for a bit and you can delete my comment after you got it down?
cho-fin instead of exposing your email, please give me a few days to make an email account specifically for UA-cam. Once I make it, I’ll announce it on a video or I’ll come back and write to you 😊
@@LifeAsWendyRN Sounds like a plan. You are awesome. I have been browsing through your content especially the ones about you leaving bedside care nursing. You're right, I just have to put myself out there! Thanks again for all of your insight. Looking forward to your video with email!
@@LifeAsWendyRN would you recommend simplyhired.com ?
Thank you I needed to hear this!!! :)
Thanks for watching! 😉
I just stumbled on your site and I’m glad I did. I left a non-bedside nursing role to go back to bedside care. Thinking I could go back and be my old self...no fear, confident, etc, but I was so wrong. I forgot how quickly things can change in the hospital world from charting to hospital management. Anyways, I believe in risks, but will it look bad if I decide to apply to a non-bedside role within a month of starting the bedside nurse role?
Honestly it may look bad and they may question BUT if you’re in an unsafe and uncomfortable situation do what is best for you and risk it. Plus doesn’t hurt to apply. Once you get an interview you can explain.
Ok! I really need help haha! I'm in my 3rd year of nursing school and am currently doing an internship on the bedside (I've been in it for 2 weeks) but it feels so repetitive to me and I wanna learn my 'skills' as in IV's, meds etc but I'm now starting to realize I don't wanna do a job that is so repetitive and physically draining, I only work 8 hours a day but I had to take my 2 day weekend just to recuperate physically. Does anyone here have any tips or job options for me? thank you soo much in advance!!
What about an outpatient clinic like an infusion clinic? Surgery? Preop? OR?
You bought a house on your nursing salary??! At 23? Wow!
Andrina Lewis yes 😊
I first saw your Utilization Review RN video. Thanks for all of the info you provided in that video. You gave me hope. I am looking to get away from bedside nursing. Do you have ADN or BSN?
Julie Trejo Julie there is always hope! I graduated from an ADN program but went back to get my BSN. I’ve had my BSN since 2015. What about you?
Life As Wendy RN ADN right now. I will have two kids in college this fall so furthering my education is on pause right now. I am looking into different certifications. I am certified in medical billing and coding already. I’ve been a nurse for 5 years.
Julie Trejo one of the positives of nursing is that there are so many different job opportunities. We do not have to stay in one specialty if we do not like it. Obtaining more certs and higher education will help get you the jobs you want. I don’t have certs though but i do think getting my BSN helped me get into the hospital i wanted to work at. Good luck! 🍀
Not related to this. I just wanna say to everyone that Jesus loves you and He is coming soon, despite what others may say. God's Word is true. If you haven't surrendered to Him, now is the time. He really doesn't want us to be lost eternally. May we be ready by repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus' sacrifice/death for us on the cross, through baptism. Be encouraged.☺️
How can I find a UR job that incorporates my years as a certified NICU nurse? Id like to use what I know which is babies and moms.
How to become UR nurse video will be up on my channel November 2nd :)
If only they didn’t make you sign two year contracts now for new grads 🥲
What happens if you break the contract?
@@LifeAsWendyRN I would have to pay back $10,000. That is what they “estimate” the cost of 12 week training in the PCU is
Sometimes they offer payment plans. Follow up with HR. How much time have you been working already?
@@LifeAsWendyRN like 3-4 weeks
@@cieraculton7065 oh no! Is it your first nursing job?
Video title is a complete lie. Complete waste of time. She just tells you to apply for different jobs and does not explain anything whatsoever about getting out of bedside nursing.
Flamethrower Candle thanks for watching and taking time out of your day to comment. Maybe you can share with us how you plan on leaving the bedside I’m sure you can help other nurses in similar situation 😊
Sorry to hear that but the information she shared was filled with optimism and encouragement to make a stand and find your purpose and happiness and not settle for unhappiness. Don’t settle till you find the place you can grow and bloom to be the nurse you’re supposed to be. As nurses we need to lift each other not fight each it’s supposed to be team work when we truly act as a team nursing will be a happier job
hi wendy ! i've been a bedside nurse for 2 months now and i absolutely hate it so much. i want to look for non-bedside nursing jobs. the job that i have right now - should i add it to my resume or not? since ive only been there for 2 months. i would like your input :) please and thank you!
Yes, I would still add it to your resume. It’s still experience and would be beneficial to add.
Thank you so much! 💗
@@vannydboo8614 you’re welcome! Don’t get discouraged. You’ll find a job you like 🙂
🙏❤️
Stubbled across this video :)
I'll be done with nursing school January 2021 & I'm interesting in being an ambulatory nurse as a new grad. My professor kind of shut down my dreams when she said I needed 2-3 years of experience in acute care. Should I follow her advice or follow what calls out to me?
I do feel like the acute care experience would be of great benefit for you prior to ambulatory nursing. But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to obtain an ambulatory nursing job as a new grad. Apply and see where life takes you 😉
@@LifeAsWendyRN thank you for the advice! :)
Million options ? Sorry, but I have been trying to get out of bedside nursing for literally years.
There are a million nurses dying to get out. But very few options ! One position might open. But, hundreds of nurses applying. So, if your thinking of getting out, short of another expensive degree, your out of luck. Nursing is a trap !! I have known nurses that have ended their lives because of the unrelenting stress and anxiety. That is how bad it REALLY IS !!!!!
Wendy where do you work now?
Currently I work as a Preadmission testing nurse
@@LifeAsWendyRN what is that like? Can you make a video about how you like or dislike your job?
@@ashleyrocco8007 yes I can definitely make one but I just started the job and just finished orientation so it may be a while. In the meantime, I do have some recent videos about my PAT nurse role. Check those out 😉
Goals
did this time change since covid lol
Nope, I left a job during Covid. You have to do what u gotta do. Move on to the next job that will make you happy
Or you could’ve been summed up this video in one minute by saying just apply for the jobs 😂😂
Sharing my experience is important and helps make it relatable. Appreciate your input. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment 😉
