Jobs requiring little or no patient care

Whatever the reason, there are a number of job options available to RNs that require little or no direct patient care. One of the following options may be right for you:
- nurse educators
- medical writers or editors
- infection control nursing
- forensic nursing
- public policy advisors
- health insurance case management
- nurse paralegal
- nurse informaticists
- pharmaceutical and medical supply research
- pharmaceutical and medical supply sales
