Hi, I'm an RN who's currently staying home with my dtr and wants to know if anyone has any legitimate ideas of what I can do at home in nursing to make some money. I have 5 yrs. experience including long term care, med surg, telemetry, vent. training, and worked on a cardiopulmonary thoracic unit for 2 years. any ideas would be appreciated!! 0 Likes
cargal Aug 12, 2001 Valerie34,I have seen others talk on this site of triage nursing from home. Try the search or look in the categories of nursing. Good Luck, keep looking- it may be worth your while!Carrie 0 Likes
AHRN Aug 12, 2001 I work in telephone triage and although our facility does not use nurses at home on regular basis, I know some organizations do. With a background in telemetry and cardiopulmonary you might check case management or long term follow-up of cardiac patients. There are several Websites for triage that might be helpful. Good luck! 0 Likes

Jennymrn Aug 19, 2001 I also wanted to work at home. I tried medical transcription and I did OK but the most money I could make was about 50% of what I could make as a nurse and out budget couldn't take it. I have considered Utilization Review or Legal Nurse Consultant but I don't have the background yet. I had to return to nursing but I got a job as an MDS coordinator and I like it. Best of luck to you and if you find something please email me. :) 0 Likes
