Working from home has become increasingly normalized since the COVID-19 pandemic. The opportunity for remote work has increased, including remote nursing jobs. These are five of the best options for those looking for a remote nursing job.
1. Nurse Recruiter
Nurse recruiters are responsible for making sure their clients have a consistent and stable number of staffers to fill nursing positions. A bachelor’s degree is preferred; however LPN’s can transition directly to this role with enough experience. A nurse with extensive real-world experience can help their clients find qualified candidates for any open jobs.
2. Nurse Educator
One of the ways to be employed as a remote nurse educator is to work for a healthcare organization. At a healthcare organization, nurses can provide virtual training on disease symptoms, medication, and drug side effects, and emerging technologies relevant to the nursing field.
The second career path for a nurse educator is in institutional education. Those who choose this path can only instruct those with a degree lower than their own. For example, a License Practical Nurse can teach a new LPN, but not a APRN. Teaching is done through webinars and live classroom sessions.
In both cases, experience with in person nursing will lend more credibility to potential candidates. Transitioning to fully remote work is possible when working for healthcare organizations and institutions with proper qualifications.
3. Health and Wellness Coach
Being a Health and Wellness coach can include everything from tailoring a diet for a specific person, giving nutrition and weight loss advice, and educating people on diseases. There accreditation programs specifically for wellness coaches. Starting your own coaching business is always an option for nurses with the proper experience.
This is the best remote nurse work for those looking to be self employed. An example of an opportunity to work for a company as a wellness coach is Headspace.
4. Remote Case Manager
Case managers help coordinate healthcare services for their clients. While the position is primary online, some in person visits maybe required. One month of home health or case management experience is required to work in LPN or RN case management jobs.
5. Clinical Research Coordinator
Clinical Research Coordinates gather data to support evidence-based practices. Remotely, Clinical Research Coordinators recruit patients, communicate clinical protocols, provide education and coordinate care necessary for the clinical study. However, most companies require applicants to have one year of in-person research coordination to be qualified for a remote role.
