Working remotely as a nurse may have been more of a pipe dream in the past. But because of technology and the quickly growing acceptance of virtual work in many industries—along with the global pandemic highlighting the vital importance of healthcare positions—work-from-home nursing jobs are much more prevalent than ever.

Remote nurses provide telephone support, advice, and follow-up services to patients, and they can also work in case management and recruiting. Remote nurses help make it easier for elderly and immunocompromised patients, as well as patients living in rural areas far from healthcare facilities, to access care. The majority of remote nursing positions on FlexJobs are a combination of remote work and travel and may have location requirements.
