I've known a couple of nurses who have done health coaching and it was totally telephonic at the company they worked at. (I am blanking on the name of the company) It might be different somewhere else. The company had contracts with big employers or other groups and the nurses followed up with specific health issues. So if you were a newly diagnosed diabetic, your insurance company might contract with the health coaching company...you as the nurse would do telephonic education and support. They used "scripts" that guided them through approved educational programs. It might be a good job if you have physical limitations and need to be more office bound. It might also be boring as all get out too though!
Only you know whether you'd enjoy that kind of thing..... good luck! Hope someone answers you who has actually done this type work.
