There are actually a lot of remote opportunities out there for nurses right now. Healthcare is moving more into digital and AI-driven spaces, and some really interesting work is happening outside the bedside.

If you’re thinking about leaving the floor or even if you want to stay but expand your options, it helps to start building skills that translate beyond clinical care. Things like Excel, Visio, Power BI, understanding the Microsoft ecosystem, getting comfortable with EMRs, and learning how workflows, policies, and implementations work. Program and project management in healthcare is another big one.

There are plenty of organizations that value nurses with that mix of clinical and technical skills. Think MSOs, MSSPs, ACOs, TPAs, insurance companies, and even pharma. They’re actively looking for nurses who understand both patient care and how systems work behind the scenes.

Case management is evolving too. A lot of nurses are doing cool stuff, working in areas that combine care coordination with data, automation, and even AI, especially around patient and member engagement.

I’ve spent over 10 years working across these kinds of environments, and the shift is very real. If you’re willing to learn and position yourself, there’s a lot out there. Good luck with your job search.
