Thank you for all of your years of service. I, too, am a RN and in my fifties. I don't want to go back to get a BSN either. What are some work-from-home nursing employment opportunities that one might do now? I'm not into telephone triage. Thank you.

Does anyone have experience working for Nurse Trek? If so, can you please comment on your interactions with them? I see they are advertising for case managers throughout a variety of areas. Thank you.

I understand what you are saying. I even stopped by McDonalds to see about a job. I graduated from RN school in 1999 (as an older grad) and feel that my age at present is a factor, even though it is not susposed to be. Also, I didn't work in the hospital after graduation, so I don't have the hospital experience often requested. I really want to teach and do a good job at it, just can't find anything local to do. Has anyone found anything to do per the internet?

I have been very interested in starting my own home based business. I seem to be interested in the insurance industry, but really don't know how to get it off the ground. I'd accept any advice someone could send my way. Thank you.

Does anyone know of any SANE program near Charlottesville, VA. Thanks, vc

Can you PM me regarding your post. Thank you.

Does anyone have any updated information on paramedical exams for the current year 2010? I may be interested in doing some additional work in this field. Thank you.

PM me as I'd like to talk to you about this type of nursing. Thanks

I am seeking to work directly with some insurance companies, maybe even worker's compensation claims. I need to get some benefits. Wondering if anyone has any new information regarding insurance companies which hire in Virginia. Thank you.

I am currently employed as an independent contract RN in Virginia. I need to pursue nurses liability insurance. Any suggestions on where might be the best place to get this type of coverage? I thought about NSO? Thoughts? Comments? I'd appreciate your ideas.

I've seen some posts which addresses RN to BSN programs. Does anyone know if the Univ of Phoenix is a good program? What might be the costs? Do they offer any scholarships? How long does their program usually take to complete? Is satistics one of the courses necessary? Thanks, Vc

Happy Summer Everyone, I currently work for some companies which hire nurses to do in-home long term care insurance assessments. It's great! I did eight assessments last week - travelled quite a bit, am tired, but had a GREAT time working and meeting clients. Does anyone know of other companies which might hire nurses to do these insurance exams? I currently contract with three companies and plan on joining another this week. I'd love to make this a routine part-time employment opportunity. It took me hours and days to locate the companies on the internet that I currently work for. These companies work with the insurance companies (I do not) and they contract with the nurses to perform the assessments. I simply evaluate the client's ADL's/IADL's, take hgt, wgt, BP and process a lot of paperwork. It's nursing, but it's not nursing in a way. I do love it. Hope someone has some new company/agency names to share. I'll share the names of companies I currently work for also. Thanks so much, Vinda

I just did a telephonic orientation with Unival. I have to take the test and then get started. I also do assessments for several companies: CHCS, LivePlans and Care Scouts. I have to get my application/etc into Nurse's CareLink, ExamOne, PortaMedic. There is also Long Term Care Alliance. It took forever to finally discover these places on the internet. Just had to search and search and search, but it paid off. If anyone hears of a new source, please let me know. Thank you.

I've done hours and hours of research on work-from-home employment opportunities. I just knew there had to be something out there. So, here's some findings: CHCS in Florida and LifePlans in MA - contract with these agencies and do in-home assessments for insurance companies. Also, Unival does facility credentialing - just contracted with them and completed telephonic training. Long Term Care Alliance does risk management and provides flexible work-from home employment. Nurse's CareLink is another agency which does nursing assessments. CareScout is another agency which you may find interesting. It takes hours to finally find some of these great opportunties. I've been doing assessments routinely this past week and it is great to have a flexible work-from-home schedule. If anyone has any other names of places to contract with, I'd sure like to know. Otherwise, I'll keep searching - you do the same. Maybe we'll find some more treasures. Keep smilin'..... Hope to hear from someone soon.

Hi...I've been researching the internet for similar type employment myself. I found Life Plans Inc (which is in the New England Area) who contracts with nurses to do long term care assessments. I'm submitting my paperwork next week. They are quite nice. I also do contract assessments for a company in FL called CHCS. Depending on your area, you may be get more or less assessments. Since you are a contract nurse you don't get health benefits unfortunately. If you find any other agencies like these, please post.
