Anyone Know Of At-Home Nursing Jobs?

[dkna2 13]

This is a bit off of subject, but I am a registered nurse and wonder if any other nurses know of a at home position I can do? I work a full time job and this would be part time. Any suggestions nurses? Oh, I'm in state of Alabama .

How about transcription? I know a lot of RNs who wanted to be at home and did that. You already know all the medical terminology, and if you can type, you can do it. There are many hospitals and transcription services all over the States that allow you to work from home. Hospitals will pay more than services. I make 20/hr doing it. If interested, you can go to the website of Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity (AHDI) and find out more. Good luck!

this job sounds great. Do you have to be an RN to do it? I'm a CHHA.

I went on the website and it had a lot of info. How do I get a hospital to hire me and do I need to take. Course or just certification exam?

Future - No, you do not have to be an RN for this job; in fact, most are not.

DKNA - I think with your RN degree, you would be a highly desirable candidate. You don't need to take a course unless you don't know medical terminology, which you must already. I would simply apply to all the hospitals in your area, although some require in-house training for a period before you go home to work, but I bet you can find some that don't require that. I guess you could start making by making phone calls. That website should have some job postings as well. Or look for transcription services in your area or nationally.

ohhhh Joni, thank you so much! I was just griping about how I made the wrong career choice in my life and how much I really don't like it (after 20+ years of doing it) . . . well now you've made me want to steer into another direction using my RN degree. . . thanks girl! Maybe there is a brighter light at the end of the tunnel
