1. Case Management?
Nurses are in high demand when it comes to case management positions. In this role, you will be responsible for handling long and short-term disability claims for patients. You will need to collaborate with physicians, employers, and insurance companies to help facilitate communication and ensure compliance among all the parties involved.
Ultimately, your goal is to help coordinate treatment and funding so that a return-to-work goal can be established and met.
Since most of your work can be done over the phone or through email, case management is a perfect work-from-home position for skilled and experienced nurses who are familiar with the healthcare industry.
2. Insurance Claims?
Making the transition from caregiving to working as an insurance claims specialist can be more natural than you might think. And working for a health insurance company can allow more job flexibility.
Health insurance companies need people with health care knowledge to examine and investigate claims to determine whether or not certain procedures are covered. They also work to decide how much money the insurance company is required to pay for each claim.
Healthcare professionals already have this knowledge, and nurses are also familiar with medical records, treatment plans, and other details insurance adjusters aren’t typically familiar with.?
Your background in nursing will help you to make informed decisions in the best interest of the patients, medical providers, and insurance companies. And, of course, you can work at home.
3. Telephone Triage Nurse
Busy medical facilities and doctors often run triage by telephone. This allows highly qualified nurses to speak with patients, assess their symptoms, and recommend the best course of action before they show up to receive healthcare services.
Nurses in triage can often answer patient questions, preventing unnecessary visits and keeping other healthcare professionals and support staff focused on the patients in the clinic.?

The telephone triage system helps handle less urgent problems more efficiently so that resources are appropriately distributed. Tele-nurses can work at home and still contribute directly to patient care. They provide valuable medical advice to patients with a wide variety of problems.
Of course, you’d need nursing experience in a clinical setting before taking on this home nursing job. Some clinics hire both BSN and ADN nurses.
And you can also think beyond your local medical clinics and hospitals when searching for these kinds of nurse jobs. Some national companies like CVS Pharmacies hire telephonic nurses to help their customers.
4. Health Informatics
This exciting new branch of healthcare is using technology to improve patient care and create a better healthcare system. Informatics works to find innovative intersections between technology, communication, and healthcare systems in order to move the entire industry forward.
If you are interested in changing the system by developing and implementing new solutions, then you may be able to put your nursing degree to good use in health informatics.?
Because the field is constantly evolving and taking shape, there is plenty of room to grow, explore your interests, and help create your position.?
As an informaticist, you could serve as a nursing consultant to give a nurse’s perspective on new technology systems. You could help build databases to track patient outcomes. You could even write computer programs to help other healthcare professionals better serve patients.
You’d need at least a bachelor’s degree, but most employers prefer nurses with master’s degrees. More and more informaticists have doctor of nursing practice (DNP) degrees.

1 年Most of those jobs have low pay. Inflation is wiping out the american middle class. Costs of goods and services are skyrocketing. Now is probably not a good time to transition to remote work so you can get a massive pay cut. Unless you are individually wealthy, but I’ve never met a wealthy nurse in my 20 years in the industry. The most impressive was a lady who was at the bedside in my hospital and also ran a modest italian restaurant in partnership with her husband.
