This is Part 2 of a two-part series entitled “Your Life as a Nurse Post Pandemic”. Part 1 addressed life post pandemic after you’ve been working way too many hours — whether in a Covid-19 unit or another area of nursing. Part 2 addresses life post pandemic after having your hours reduced, furloughed, or laid off.
Part 2: You wanted to be a nurse. You went to school to be a nurse. You worked as a nurse. Now, you’re concerned about how your life will be after having had your work hours reduced, furloughed, or even laid off during the pandemic. One thing is for sure: You’ve experienced the inevitable “burn-out” but you need or want to keep working.
Now the question is: What can you do for income post pandemic without going back to traditional nursing?
No sense going into a completely different field because you have a nursing degree and years of experience you could use, just in a slightly different job. You’re tired. You’re fed up with nursing administration. You’re undervalued. But, you want recognition AND a commensurate salary.
Your nursing skills are marketable! Use your beautiful skills and easily parlay them into a complimentary field: Be a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC). With the number of lawsuits quickly rising due to the pandemic, there will be lots of lawsuits filed and medical records that need to be reviewed by Professional Legal Nurse Consultants. Let that PLNC be you!
Nurses have career options. You just have to know what they are. With the shift in point-of-care health, look to see more telehealth, digital administration of care, and remote work.
Speaking of remote work, the beauty of being a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant is you can work from home, or even your car. That’s a huge relief in this ever-changing world. Medical records you’ll review can be viewed on a laptop, desktop, tablet, or even your mobile phone. If you need to look up a nursing condition, you can use your phone. And, any short report can be dictated and put into a Word document, scanned, and sent to the attorney. You can discuss your opinions via phone. Lastly, you’ll submit your invoice by email and get paid with PayPal, Stripe, direct deposit, or any one of a number of online payment platforms.
You can see how your future will change after the pandemic. Are you ready to beat the rush and get your Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC) Certification now?
