Work from home RN jobs?

Published

Recently I've been interested in a career change. I currently work in the OR at the hospital I've been at for almost 5 years, and I'm just becoming more interested in other types of nursing that are non-clinical, like work from home jobs. There is a job posting where the headquarters are in a completely different state, not in driving distance from where I live, and the campuses are in other states as well. It says you can work remotely from home as a clinical nurse reviewer, which is kind of like utilization management, it says. Does anyone have any insight on how these jobs work? Would i have to video chat with my boss or something? Would I have to travel for training or interviews or evaluations?? Any info on long-distance work from home jobs OR utilization management / review jobs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Took me many attempts. I finally got my foot in the door as an outside contractor.

Are you looking at UHG, Aetna, etc? Depending on the employer, your training will most likely take place at their assigned sites. Once that is completed you will work from home. The interviews may be telephonic.You need to apply to the company.. then jump through their hoops. The hoops are astronomical.

It's not "kinda like" utilization management.. it IS utilization management. Learn what that role is.. have a stellar resume that includes the key words to get you an interview.

If you want it bad enough...with your experience , you can do it.

Thanks for your response. Not sure I could manage to travel for training, so I'll have to think about it. Hoping I can find something closer to me!

Check out the insurance companies in your area. They often hire numerous nurses, train them onsite, then after awhile they work from home. I had no idea, until recently, that so many nurses were being utilized by insurance companies.

So I've found a work-from-home Quality Review Analyst position with a local insurance company in my area. I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what I would be doing in this position. Any advice? It mentions document reviews and analyzing the review data. I'm completely new to this type of nursing so any insight would be helpful.
