Medical coding as a side-hustle?

Published

I’m a school nurse which is the perfect job for me and my family’s needs EXCEPT for the pay. Oh, the pay. I have $29 after paying rent and one smallish bill immediately after my paycheck dropped last night. That’s right. $29 to live on for two weeks. My rent is on the minimum end of the scale for my area, too. I’m working on a food truck tomorrow morning and do this somewhat regularly, but I was wondering if anyone knows about doing medical coding on the side, say part time from home, sort of PRN?

So here's some info about school. I would look into whether there are jobs available in your area and what they pay. It might be more worthwhile to try and pick up shifts/partial shifts at a hospital.

Do you qualify for a prn nursing job in a hospital? Per diem staff at my hospital earn $41/hr for weekend day shift. Do a 12 hour shift once every other weekend and you can get a whole lot more extra money than you can get medical coding.
