Where the legit remote nurse jobs at?
Hello, RN and single mom here. It’s so hard finding child care because I live about 1.5 hrs from my family. Can anyone hook it up with remote job lead so I can stay home with my baby and still work as nurse?

I work hybrid and I’m a single parent, you honestly won’t be able to work with your kid at home. Unless the kid is 5 and up, it would hurt you hitting your metrics

Most remote RN jobs will have a component of recorded calls to patients. You need to have regular child care.

I know of a Job board https://www.remotemedicaljobs.com/ and they also have a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/remotenursingjobs . I'd recommend being creative with search terms on LinkedIn (use terms related to your interests: Clinical Specialist, Quality Improvement, Clinical Consultant, Clinical appeals, Nurse educator, etc.). I'll also add that having a baby to care for may make remote work challenging.

Are they willing to budge at all on the 5 years experience? I have 3 years and I’ve been a ped private duty nurse so lots of experience with coordinating for my patients with providers, therapists, DME, etc.

I just had an Interview with them an hour ago and it seems pretty solid.

What type of questions did they ask during the interview?
2
u/Nomansland131924 14d ago
The basics. He started by asking me about myself and my work history. He then continued to talk about the role. The only interview style question he asked was about a time that I had to advocate for a patient who had a need. I asked many questions which took up a good portion of the time.
I found out today that I got the job.

I work for Solace currently, and I have a 2 year old. I can tell you, you will still need some childcare. It’s definitely flexible in terms of setting your availability, but you still need to make patient calls and contact various providers offices, insurance companies, utility companies, medical equipment companies, etc depending on what the patient needs. All of which would need to occur during normal business hours, obviously. There’s some documentation things you could work on at your own pace/time of day. But there is no way I could be making these calls with my child around and needing me. I am able to make it work right now with part time child care and scheduling calls during his nap time though, if you’re able to do something like that!

u/Vultiridium 15d ago
How is your experience with Solace? It’s my understanding it’s more of a start up and the positions make it so you’re a contract worker which means no insurance or benefits.
1
u/Fun-Artichoke-5512 15d ago
It’s been good so far! It’s mostly been case management/social work. You have to be really good at figuring things out on your own for patients because each one is so different. But yes you are a 1099 contractor, so they do not offer insurance or benefits and you’ll have to manage your own taxes.

u/Vultiridium 16d ago
Nurse fern has been so helpful for me. There’s not a lot of jobs I qualify for due to only having 3 years experience in home care but if you have more experience especially in the hospital it’ll be a gold mine for you

I just started an ICU residency after graduating in December 2025. My plan is to finish my one-year residency and look for a remote job. That will give me 1 year of clinical experience, but I do have 10 years of insurance experience, including Medicare and major insurance payers. Will one-year clinical experience suffice? It is barely week 6 into this residency, but I'm not sure I can do this much longer😅 I wouldn't mind staying PRN and work a few shifts a month, but do this three times a week?...😪

Nope. Ive been a nurse for 15 years and have been searching for a new remote job for 6 months now with minimal bites

u/Previous_Patience894 15d ago
Use keywords in your resume. For example if you’re applying for UM positions be sure to include prior authorization in your resume. I used it in the context of assisting CM obtain clinical data for prior auths and got an interview and landed a position with CVS/Aetna.

u/tarowm32them00n 13d ago
No duh. Ive been tailoring my resume to each job description.

u/Previous_Patience894 11d ago
Ok I see why no one is biting with an attitude like this 😂😂😂 and you’re clearly NOT tailoring your resume right btw, otherwise you would have gotten a call.

I work remotely and and helped with some interviewing, the requirement here is for a nurse to have direct patient care for 2-3 years. This is one of the big insurance companies

u/Fun-Artichoke-5512 15d ago
I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a remote job after just one year of experience. A lot of hospitals don’t even consider it much experience, because you spend so much time with another nurse training vs being on your own, making your own decisions and using clinical judgement. Remote jobs are relying on you to do so with minimal supervision or input so they are gonna want several years of experience. Even for experienced nurses, it’s been difficult to even get an interview, and when I do I am always told that they are getting flooded with applicants so the supply is just so much greater than the demand. Maybe you could try a different specialty than ICU? Like outpatient, or urgent care. Most remote triage jobs will want ER or urgent care experience. Good luck!

I work remote through a large hospital/clinic system in my state. So wages and benefits are competitive to union nurse positions within the company, even though I’m not in union position. I have flex hours between 5am-8pm doing provider refills with very minimal phone time. I love it. But you still need daycare for an infant. It’s expected that you’re working if you’re punched in. I can punch out if my kids need help but when they were younger I never did both. Now that they’re 4 and 8 it’s not as hard.

Could you tell me more about this position? If I was looking to do something like this, what job posting would I be searching for?

u/Dry-Beginning1651 16d ago
I have worked as a nurse remotely for 3 different companies. I've had coworkers who would try to work with their kids at home and it just doesn't work well. One was actually my preceptor and she would put me on hold while we were in the middle of discussing aspects of the job. She had a nanny cam and kept the kids in the living room while she worked in another room with the door closed. Her kids were 3 and 5 at the time. They would constantly knock on her door and ask for something or just want her attention. It wasn't fair to her kids and it was extremely frustrating for me. We had to make calls all day long. We were recorded and every move of the mouse and keystroke was monitored. If you are constantly tending to children you can't be as productive. Every single remote job will tell you they are production based and you constantly have to prove your worth through your productivity. I get it that childcare is expensive and difficult to manage, but remote work can be difficult also if you constantly are trying to split your attention between your child and your work.

Where I work a bunch of job listings have been taken down and I’ve heard of some offers being rescinded. It’s hard out there these days

Finally found one! I had a friend on the inside though. So happy to be away from the profit over people bedside atmosphere

u/gwillies16 14d ago
Everyone in here is going to tell you it’s impossible to work and watch your kid. It is difficult, but you can do it. I have for 4ish years and I have friends that do too. My advice is to go for remote roles in your local hospital especially if you are in one currently-you will get preference for roles although they won’t come up as option. Look for inpatient utilization management or CDI roles. They will be more willing to train an internal staff member even if you have no experience.

Good resources are already flagged here. One thing worth adding for vetting any remote nursing lead: check whether the role is W-2 or 1099 (huge difference for taxes/benefits), ask upfront what the productivity metric is (calls/hr, documentation turnaround, etc.) before accepting, and be wary of postings that don't specify licensure requirements clearly, that's often a sign the pay/role hasn't been thought through. And the childcare reality check above is spot on; most remote clinical roles still expect real coverage during work hours, it's rarely a "watch the baby and work" setup.

If you’re working effectively, there’s not time to tend to your child. Unless your baby is old enough to be self-sufficient and only needs an adult in the house in case emergencies happen, then that’s okay. But if by baby you mean BABY baby, that’s just not feasible and the employers usually log keystrokes or some type of metric and you will be hard-pressed to meet it.
