What Are Some Remote Nursing Jobs – Hiring Now
Last updated: October 20, 2026 · By Amna
The examples, on one screen. Remote nursing sorts into a small set of role families. The honest numbers first:
| The figure | What is published |
|---|---|
| Separate BLS median per role family | None — the BLS publishes no median for triage, review, case management or any other single remote family |
| RN baseline (BLS OES, May 2024) | $86,070 a year, national median, all employers |
| NP baseline (BLS OES, May 2024) | $126,260 a year, national median, all employers |
| LPN/LVN baseline (BLS OES, May 2024) | $59,730 a year, national median, all employers |
| Cost to apply | $0. Real employers never charge a fee. |
Below, each family is sorted by its shape — what comes in, what goes out. These are families, not listings: no example below is a specific opening.
The Families, Sorted by Shape
| Role family | What comes in | What goes out | Shape |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triage and nurse advice lines | A patient’s call and symptoms | An assessment under protocol, a disposition, a routed case | Voice |
| Case management | A panel of patients with ongoing needs | Care plans, follow-up calls, coordination notes over time | Voice + record |
| Utilization review | A request and the chart behind it | A written decision under the employer’s stated process | Record |
| Chart review and audit | Patient records to be checked | Findings on accuracy and completeness, in writing | Record |
| Care coordination | Referrals, appointments, handoffs to arrange | A connected path for the patient, documented | Voice + record |
| Telephonic member support | A member’s clinical question | Guidance, education and routing to the right care | Voice |
| Documentation and coding-adjacent record work | Records that must say clearly what was done and why | Corrected, complete documentation as the post defines it | Record |
The full map — every family with its own page — is the types of remote nursing jobs page. This page samples that map.
The Voice Families: Judgment in a Conversation
Triage and advice work is assessment at a distance: a caller describes symptoms, you work through the employer’s protocol in order, and you give the disposition — self-care guidance, an appointment, urgent routing — then document the call. Member support is the plan-side cousin: members call with clinical questions, and you guide, educate and route. Both families run on live queues, so their posts state coverage hours, and the work clusters where callers need it — evenings, nights and weekends appear often in general terms. These seats are usually RN-level as posts state them.
The Record Families: Judgment in Writing
Utilization review reads a request against the chart and the employer’s stated process, and answers in writing. Chart review and audit read finished records for accuracy and completeness and record what they find. Documentation work makes sure the record states, clearly and correctly, what was done and why. The pace here is a queue of files, not a ringing line, and the output standard is the written note. Posts in the record families work at RN level and, in some lanes as each post states, LPN/LVN level — read the license line on the post, not the family name.
The Mixed Families: A Panel Over Time
Case management and care coordination sit between the shapes. You carry a panel — patients with ongoing conditions, open referrals, follow-up that cannot slip — and the work alternates between calls out and records in. The deliverable is continuity: nothing dropped between providers, appointments and plans. NP-level seats appear here where a post names advanced practice duties, reading for APRN licensure in each patient state — the compact never covers APRN practice. The whole field is gathered on the remote nursing jobs hub.
What Does It Pay?
Pay follows the license level, not the family. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes no median for any single family on this page — not for triage, not for review, not for case management — and this page will not invent one. Its published medians (OES, May 2024) are $86,070 a year for registered nurses, $126,260 for nurse practitioners and $59,730 for LPNs and LVNs, across all employers. Each post states its own pay — judge it against the baseline for your license. Verify on BLS.gov.
How to Search and Apply: Step by Step
- Pick your shape first: voice, record, or panel work. The shape decides your day more than the family name does.
- Search the family words plus “remote” on official careers pages: “triage nurse,” “utilization review nurse,” “case manager,” “nurse auditor.”
- Read the license line on every post. Families span levels; the post, not the family, names the level it seats.
- Check the patient-state list against your license or compact position before you apply.
- Tailor your resume to the shape: protocol calls for voice work, written review for record work, panel follow-through for mixed work. Use the resume guide.
- Apply on the official site only and keep the confirmation.

Where to Apply
Every family above is hired by health plans, hospital systems and care programs. These are their official careers pages — search the family words on each. The employer’s own listing is the real, current post. Applying is always free:
- UnitedHealth Group Careers (UnitedHealthcare and Optum) — search “triage nurse,” “case manager” and “utilization review nurse.”
- CVS Health Clinical Careers (includes Aetna) — search “nurse” under Clinical and filter by family.
- The Cigna Group Healthcare Careers — search “case manager” and “nurse” on its healthcare teams.
- Humana Careers — search “care manager” and “utilization review.”
- Centene Careers — search “nurse” under Clinical & Care Management.
Pros and Cons of Searching by Family
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Family words are the words employers file posts under — the search finds real seats | Families overlap: one employer’s “case manager” is another’s “care coordinator” |
| The shape tells you your day — queue, files or panel — before you apply | A family name never states the license level; only the post does |
| You can target the shape that suits your skills and your hours | No family carries its own pay figure, so pay is judged post by post |
Red Flags: Protect Yourself
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. Example-hunting draws a specific fraud: paid “remote nursing role lists” and training packages that promise to qualify you for a named family — reviewer, auditor, coach — for a fee. No list is a hiring channel and no package is a license. Employers post inside the families, on their own careers pages, and the post states the experience it accepts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some examples of remote nursing jobs?
The role families are: triage and nurse advice lines; case management; utilization review; chart review and audit; care coordination; telephonic member support; and documentation and coding-adjacent record work. Each is a family of posts, not a single job — employers file real openings inside these families on their own careers pages, and each post states its own duties, license line and pay.
Which remote nursing jobs are phone-based and which are record-based?
Phone-based: triage, advice lines and member support, where the work is a live conversation under protocol. Record-based: utilization review, chart review and audit, and documentation work, where the input is a chart and the output is writing. Case management and care coordination mix both — a panel carried by calls out and records in, over time.
Do all of these jobs need an RN license?
No single rule covers every family. Triage and assessment seats are usually RN-level as posts state them. Some record lanes seat LPN/LVN nurses where the post says so. NP-level seats inside a family read for APRN licensure in each patient state. The family name never settles the level — the post’s own license line does. Read it first, every time.
Are the examples on this page real openings I can apply to today?
No — they are role families, not listings, and this page names no specific opening. A family tells you what to search; the opening itself lives on the employer’s official careers page, where the current post, its duties and its pay are stated. Search the family words on the portals in the Where to Apply section, and judge each post you find on its own lines.
How much do these remote nursing jobs pay?
By license level, not by family. The BLS publishes no median for any single family named here. Its national medians (OES, May 2024) are RN $86,070 a year, NP $126,260 and LPN/LVN $59,730 across all employers. Each post states its own pay — read it against the baseline for the license the post seats. Verify on BLS.gov.
How do I know a remote nursing 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: Search by family and shape, never by the word “remote” alone. The family words are the employer’s own filing system — use them, and the examples on this page turn into a short list of real posts to read line by line.
