Many RN positions, such as Case Managers, offer remote work opportunities. Case Managers often work from home, making phone calls to health insurance companies to coordinate the transfer and discharge. Health Insurance companies also employ RNs. A 600 bed hospital can have a case manager departments with 300 RNs. And it is one of the most important departments of the hospital, it is related to the income of the hospital. Many RN roles in hospitals are also suitable for remote work. For example, the Quality Improvement department hires RNs to review physician notes, make sure they follow the correct guidelines, there are no fallouts and carry out quality improvement projects. This work can be done entirely from home with just a computer. Due to increasing compliance and regulatory requirements from health insurance companies, hospitals now employ RNs as documentation specialists. Their role involves reviewing physician notes to ensure all required documentation elements are present, the correct ICD-10 codes are used, and acuity requirements are met. This job specifically requires RN experience. Hospitals also hire Informatics RNs to manage electronic medical record (EMR) systems. They train new residents and RNs on how to use these systems. If there are updates or new features added to the EMR system, Informatics RNs meet with stakeholders to develop solutions, similar to a project manager in a tech company. Their work mainly involves creating presentations and attending meetings. Following the introduction of the Affordable Care Act, every hospital is required to have a Privacy Officer and a Compliance Officer, roles often filled by RNs. Additionally, there are many RN positions related to audits. For example, the Department of Public Health hires RNs as Facility Evaluators to assess healthcare facilities like nursing homes, ensuring they comply with federal, state, and local laws, CMS regulations. They have the authority to impose significant fines for non-compliance, starting at $50,000. In the Department of Mental Health, RNs work as mental health counselors, which can also be a 100% remote role, allowing them to provide patient care from home. Over 20% of the healthcare workforce comprises RNs, making them the largest group among all healthcare professionals. Naturally, this opens up many remote work opportunities. In California, many RNs now earn double overtime pay instead of the usual 1.5 times, with some facilities even offering double overtime plus a 20% bonus to retain them. While physicians are often seen as being at the top of the hierarchy, hospitals rely heavily on RNs. Without enough RNs, hospitals are forced to close beds. Post-pandemic era, hospitals across the country are facing a 20-30% shortage of RNs. This shortage can result in the daily closure of over 100 beds in some hospitals, meaning physicians cannot admit patients. Without patients, there's little need for physicians. Hospitals are a team environment, and physicians rely heavily on RNs and other healthcare workers. Without nursing support, physicians, regardless of their skill level, cannot function effectively. Without RNs, no surgeon can perform surgeries; operating rooms can’t even open. In reality, physicians are often like "visitors" in a hospital, while RNs are the "owners." This is reflected in hospital administration, where RNs often hold the majority of managerial positions. That’s why many hospitals have COOs and even CEOs who are RNs. The bottom line is simple: without RNs, a hospital cannot stay open.
