Remote Nurse Jobs Near Me – Hiring Now
Remote Nurse Jobs Near Me – Hiring Now
Last updated: October 20, 2026 · By Amna
Quick answer: “Near me” works in a different way for remote jobs. You work from home, but your nursing license ties you to a state. Most remote employers hire by license state, not by your street address. So the right search is: find roles that accept a license in your state — or in any state if you hold a compact (NLC) multistate license. Start on your state page below, check the license line in each post, and apply on the official employer site. It is always free to apply.
Key Facts
| Item | What to expect |
|---|---|
| What “near me” means here | Roles you can legally do from your home state, based on your license — not roles within driving distance |
| License rule | You must hold a license for the state named in the post. A compact (NLC) license covers all compact states |
| Experience | Most RN roles: 2–3 years in the same specialty. See each post for the exact ask |
| Typical pay | RN median $86,070/year — BLS, May 2024. NP median $126,260/year — BLS, May 2024. LPN/LVN median $59,730/year — BLS, May 2024. Pay follows role and license more than city. Verify on BLS.gov |
| Time zone | Phone and visit roles often require you to work the employer’s time zone hours, even from home |
| How to apply | On the official employer site linked in each post. No fees, ever |
Why Remote Jobs Are Still Tied to Your State
It feels odd at first. If the job is done from your kitchen table, why does your state matter? Three reasons decide it.
First, your license. Nursing is licensed by state. For most remote roles, you must hold a license in the state where the patient or member sits, or in the state named by the employer. If you hold a multistate license under the Nurse Licensure Compact, one license covers every compact state. If you hold a single-state license, your options are roles that accept your state, or a new license by endorsement in the employer’s state.
Second, employer rules. Tax, payroll and policy rules lead many employers to hire only in a set list of states. A post may say “remote, US” or “remote in select states.” Both are real remote jobs — the second one just has a state list. Read that list before you apply.
Third, time and cover. Triage lines and telehealth teams staff to a time zone. A team that covers East Coast clinic hours needs nurses who can work those hours, wherever they live.
Once you see this, your search gets sharp. Stop searching by distance. Search by your license state, then by role. That is how the nurses who get hired search.
Step 1: Find Your State Page
Your state page holds your board link, your compact status, the types of remote employers that hire in your state, and the state posts on this site. Start with the largest states, or open the full hub for all 50:
- Texas remote nurse jobs
- Florida remote nursing jobs
- California remote RN jobs
- Ohio remote nurse jobs
- Illinois remote nurse jobs
- Michigan remote nursing jobs
- Pennsylvania remote nursing jobs
- North Carolina remote nurse jobs
- Massachusetts remote nursing jobs
- Georgia remote nurse jobs

In a big city? A few large cities have their own pages because search volume supports them: Houston, New York City, Chicago, San Antonio, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, San Diego, Cincinnati and St. Louis. Every other city is covered inside its state page — your license state is still what counts.
Step 2: Check Your License Options
Before you apply anywhere, answer three questions:
- Is my license multistate (compact)? Check your status in Nursys. If your home state is a compact state and your license is multistate, you can apply to roles across all compact states at once.
- If not, which states can I add? Licensure by endorsement lets you add a state. It takes time and a fee, so add a state only when a target employer hires there often.
- Does the post name my state? If a post lists accepted states and yours is not on the list, do not apply and hope. Screening removes those applications first.
Verify compact and endorsement rules on NCSBN.org and your state board of nursing. Rules change; the board site is the source of truth. NP note: the compact for RNs does not cover APRN practice — NP roles follow patient-state licensure. See the NP hub.
Step 3: Pick Your Role, Then Search
With your state fixed, pick the role that matches your clinical background. Specialty match is the strongest factor in remote hiring, in every state.
- Utilization review — health-plan case review with InterQual or MCG.
- Case management — care plans and follow-up by phone and video.
- Triage — symptom assessment lines, often evenings and weekends.
- Telehealth — video visits and virtual care.
- CDI and informatics — records and EHR work.
- By schedule: part-time, PRN, entry-level.

Pay: Does Location Change Remote Pay?
Some employers set pay by your home state; others pay one national rate per role. The official post or the offer states which. What does not change is the baseline for your license. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports these medians for May 2024: RN $86,070 a year, NP $126,260 a year, LPN/LVN $59,730 a year. Use them to judge any offer, then verify current data on BLS.gov. If a post shows pay far above the range for the role with no clear source, treat it as a warning sign, not a win.
How to Get Hired From Your State: Step by Step
- Open your state page and note your compact status and board link.
- List the employers that hire in your state from the company guides.
- Set alerts on their official careers pages for your role and state.
- Tailor your resume — license states first, then specialty, systems and results. Use the resume guide.
- Apply on the official site only. Track role, date and status.
- Prepare your home setup — private space, strong internet, headset — before the interview. Employers ask.

Pros and Cons of Searching by State
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| You only spend time on roles you can legally take | Single-state licenses limit your pool until you add states |
| Compact nurses can apply across most of the US at once | Some employers hire in few states, and lists change |
| State pages give you board links and local context in one place | Time-zone coverage can still rule you out of a role |
Red Flags: Protect Yourself
“Near me” job ads on social media and chat groups are a common scam route. Real employers never charge a fee to apply, never interview only on a chat app, and never ask you to cash a check for equipment. Always find the job on the employer’s own careers page before you share any personal data. Full checklist: Report a Job / Report a Scam.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find remote nurse jobs near me?
Start with your license state, not your address. Open your state page, confirm your compact status, then apply to roles that accept your state. Your state page links the employers and posts that fit.
Can I work a remote job for an employer in another state?
Yes, if you hold the license the role requires — a compact multistate license, or a license in the state named in the post — and the employer hires in your home state. Both points are stated in the post.
Do remote employers care where I live?
Yes, for payroll, tax and license rules. Many posts list the states they hire in. If your state is not listed, the employer cannot hire you for that role at this time.
What if no remote jobs accept my state?
Add a license by endorsement in a state your target employers hire in, or target national employers with wide state lists. Your state page and the company guides show who hires most broadly.
Does a compact license cover NP jobs?
No. The Nurse Licensure Compact covers RN and LPN/LVN practice. APRN roles follow the rules of the state where the patient sits. See the NP hub for detail.
How do I know a listing here is current?
We check each job on the official employer site before posting and re-check weekly. Each post shows its verified date. See How We Verify Jobs.
Final tip: Save your state page and check it each week. New state lists open without notice, and a role that closed to your state last month may open to it today.
Disclaimer: We are an independent job information site, not the employer. Details can change. Always confirm pay, license needs and deadlines on the official employer site. Pay figures above are from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2024) — verify current data on BLS.gov. License rules: verify on NCSBN.org and your state board of nursing.
