Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.
Position: On-Call Nurses
Education: A RN degree, plus up-to-date certification is required.
Skills: The ability to dispense information on medical conditions, medication reactions, disease management and health care options.
Job outlook: The U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) says job opportunities for registered nurses is “expected to grow by 22 percent from 2008 to 2018.” The home health care services for RNs is projected to increase 33 percent, according to the BLS. Check out the BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook for more details.
Possible employers: Companies like Fonemed.com and McKesson.com hire nurses to take phone calls. Also check with insurance companies, as some of those have special services, like maternity care hot lines, that need RNs.
Preparation: Make sure your nursing credentials are up-to-date. You’ll likely need reliable high-speed Internet connection, a computer and a landline. Being reachable is key to this business.
Get your foot in the door: Apply online at the above companies. Send your resume to local insurance companies or area hospitals asking about phone-based employment.
Until next time,
Sarah
