William’s Answer

Nursing is a career that offers endless opportunities and pathways. You initial education will most likely focus on hospital positions. A clinical experience in a hospital setting will give you a good foundation on which to expand your horizons.
As to outdoor opportunities camp nursing is the most obvious. You will be working independently with a primarily pediatric population. While this can be very rewarding there are drawbacks. Salaries tend to be low and opportunities are seasonal.
Other areas to explore would be public health nursing, medical sales, and visiting home health nurse. As a retired Army nurse I would be remis in not encouraging you to explore military nursing opportunities. You will find opportunities that most people don’t even no exist.
Best of luck in your career.
Thank you comment icon Thank you for taking the time to answer! My dad was in the Air Force so I appreciate the military angle. I've also been thinking about critical care/flight nurse. Kaitlyn
