      Australian doctor here, certainly in Australia There are dozens of jobs for nurses that require minimal or no patient contact.

      Things like administration and management would usually require at least a reasonable amount of experience but clinic work is very different to hospital work.

      My own fiance works in infection control which is a lot of reviewing charts, advising ward staff on isolation protocol, ensuring staff vaccinations are up to date.

      Just quit nursing is a little otp.

      It may not be hating to work with patients, but the kind of work with the patients. A lot of people have no idea how much booty wiping and baths are required when you’re a nurse taking care of really sick patients. There’s also the “daughter from California” issue. There is a lot of literal and figurative shit healthcare providers have to put up with. Some people are in it because the paychecks are really pretty solid.
