Question

it' an associate degree in nursing,could it also apply as degree in health.

Answer 1

If you are interested in being a rn you should try to renew it if u can and yes u can also be a be a Health care advisor even if you no longer have your license i think they go on the experience you have had in the health care field. I have one question if u dont mine why did u let your license lapse? Also just look in the job section of the news paper and also try to look on monster for jobs you can still find something in the health care field if u still want to work in the health care field and yes it is a degree in science so you could also be a manager i cant think of what it is called but all they do is paper work somethink like a srub nurse but with out the nurse on hand labor . you should try to check it out its a lot u can do with your degree  

Answer 2

You could work as a Unit Secretary, or Medical Secretary if you have some clerical skills, there's still lots you can do in the healthcare field.  You could work as a Medical Assistant, check doctor offices see if they are looking for an Office Manager.  Pre-admitting, patient registration, course there are other things too, you should look at hospital web sites and review job qualifications.  In your case I would include a cover letter, when HR or hiring managers sees your resume and sees you didn't keep your license up they will wonder why - it's a red flag to us - so say something regarding your situation and why you no longer wish to purse a career as an RN, and why you perusing a different career.

Healthcare HR Manager

Answer 3

Why don't you take a refresher course and get your license back?  We could sure use you.  There is such a shortage in nursing.  Without your license, you could be an aide for floor work, or maybe some admin job clerical job.  

Answer 4

you could work as a phlebotimist if this was a skill you were good at.  I'm sure you realize that if you don't use your nursing degree this means you take a paycut.  So if that doesn't matter go for it. Also have you considered getting out of the hospital setting and trying homecare.  I found this very rewarding and a nice change from the hospital setting.  I think you could also pursue a job as a Case Manager for the hospital.  This uses your degree as well but does not involve direct patient care.
