Q) I am a retired nurse of 25 years; I would like to work one or two days a week. I have arthritis and I am not able to work floor duty but would be willing to do any other kind of work. I do walk with a cane at times and walking can be difficulty for me; but a desk job, answering a phone anything like that I would be willing to work. Live in Wellsburg WV
A) There are several options available to you for finding part-time work that accommodates your arthritis and mobility limitations.
- You can search for part-time jobs on popular job search websites like Indeed, SimplyHired, and Monster. When searching, use keywords like “part-time” and “desk job” to find suitable openings.
- You can also consider contacting staffing agencies that specialize in placing candidates in part-time or temporary positions. These agencies can help match you with employers that fit your requirements.
- Another option is to contact local hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes to see if they have any administrative or office positions available. As a retired nurse, you may have connections or relationships that can help you secure a position.
- Finally, you may want to consider freelancing or consulting in your area of expertise. You can create a profile on freelance websites like Upwork or Freelancer to find short-term projects that fit your skills and experience.
