This is my 9th month as a LPN. I was a CNA for 10 years and enjoyed working home health. After graduating, I knew I wanted to remain in home health. However, I could not land a position. Like you, after so many unsuccessful attempts, I went to inpatient in skilled nursing. As of today, all my clinical training and skills have been through agency. I’ve been lucky to come across assignments that were willing to orientate me. I have learned so much from each assignment in half the time. I’m bridging over to RN in January and have no interest in the hospital setting. Post-acute facilities can be just as toxic and stressful as the hospital. I honestly don’t know if I go into the clinic setting as a RN, will I loose most of my skills.
I left beside about 3 years ago now to do Home Care, but now I’m ready to be more at a location. Tired of driving all day, and wear and tear on my car. Now I’m starting a new job April 1st (2024) at a Doctors Office. Speciality: Urology … so excited! Seems like a good team of people. I will be the only Nurse, working with one Doctor, one Physician assistant and three Medical Assistants. Praying I’m a good fit for the office, and everything goes smoothly. I’m a Nurse for 11 years now, but this is my 1st time working in a Doctors office setting.
I loved being a clinic nurse. You’re able to have routine hours and more structure. Clinic nursing is great once you have hospital experience. I’m sure you’ll love it. I actually started a new job April 1st. I’m going back to the bedside. 😊
Are you going back inpatient? I work outpatient and love it but feel i need inpatient but i dont want the stress. Im thinking of doing outpatient infusion as well as most like it.
No you don’t need in patient experience. I have colleges that have never worked in patient. However, I do recommend you to work in patient for at least a year so you can get paid the most.

BEDSIDE Nurses have a lot of responsibilities.

I really love your content. I love watching your videos because your so helpful.
Thank you so much!!
It is a pleasure to meet you
Thank you!
Who knew that a nursing degree can be so flexible? Interesting.
Was it a big pay cut?
Do you need in-patient experience in order to be a clinic nurse?
No you don’t need in patient experience. I have colleges that have never worked in patient. However, I do recommend you to work in patient for at least a year so you can get paid the most.
Feel the same about outpatient vs.
Bedside.
