School nursing. :)

Home health intermittent visits or a home health short shift, five or six hours instead of eight, arranged to end so you can be home by three.

Thank you for your reply. Actually, I am a school nurse. I get home by 3 but I have to get on the bus at 6:30 so I can't get my kids off to school. Otherwise, it works well.

Thank you for your reply. Actually, right after I posted this thread I applied for a home health position. It said the hours were 8-5 though. I thought I would ask for some flexibility to be able to meet the bus. Do you know anything about home health nursing and if they are flexible with scheduling?

I am in home health and yes, they are very flexible. However, that 8 to 5 position you are talking about sounds like an internal employee office position. The flexibility usually is found in the field positions. You can arrange any kind of schedule you like by coordinating it with the clients and your staffing coordinator, as long as the office has case work to support your work schedule desires. Go to the home health forum and you can find some threads and posts about schedule flexibility. HTH

I'm not in a line of work where I work from home, but I bet you that there might be some positions out there where you could do phone triage nursing from home. Several of our local hospitals have those "Ask-A-Nurse" hotlines, and the one I'm most familiar with does have a call center, but perhaps there are similar at home opportunities. Another idea might be to do transcription. The hospitals around here are outsourcing overseas, but perhaps there are some smaller offices in your area. It always helps to have someone familiar with the lingo so that "foley" doesn't become "chole" and that type of thing. Good luck!
