In today’s episode, we have my friend Sadie Glisson, one of my favorite guests on the show.

She is the founder of the Remote Nurse, an online community and job board designed to connect nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to remote telehealth jobs. Sadie has been working from home as an RN for several years and now uses her expertise who help others break into the field of Telehealth to create more sustainable careers while advancing the next generation of healthcare.

We’re here today to talk about remote nursing jobs for writers.

She’s a registered nurse. She was a care coordinator and then got into clinical research and then some data abstraction. She had some weird roles and that’s kind of what led her into remote jobs because a couple of those roles were available remotely. Her husband was in the military at the time so they were moving all the time and so she started doing remote jobs. Now she helps nurses connect with this type of job because most nurses don’t know that you can work from home.

Career Path For Nurses Looking For Remote Nursing Jobs

What’s the difference between working for yourself and still working for a company?

Schedule

Being an employee, you have to abide by the company’s time schedule. As for remote writing, it’s not as time-sensitive as patients being on the phone and needing to work during business hours.

Restriction of your employer
You have to do what works for them and the business, whereas, working for yourself you can kind of choose, what your best schedule is, and then pick and choose work.

Stability

The downside with working from yourself sometimes is that there’s not the stability that you get from an employment job. You are responsible for making sure you have money to bring home.

Skills you need to be able to work from home as a nurse

Independence

You have to be independent. Work

In today’s episode, we delve into the world of paid LinkedIn accounts and explore whether upgrading to a premium plan is truly worth it.

We’re answering this question from one of our Savvy Nurse Writer members: “Has anyone upgraded to a paid LinkedIn account? If so, which plan? Is it worth it?”

Key points in this episode:

• Using LinkedIn as a valuable platform for professional networking and business growth.
• The value of low expenses: As a small business owner, I talk about the importance of maximizing the utility of every dollar spent. Low expenses are crucial for profitability, especially when trying to grow a business.
• Free tools and trials: LinkedIn does offer free trials for premium accounts, allowing users to explore the benefits before making a decision.
• Individual needs: Every business and individual may have unique needs and experiences. It’s encouraged to explore the paid plans if they align with your goals.

Resources:

If you’re not sure if LinkedIn Premium is right for you, check out our Find and Pitch Clients Workshop, which reveals effective techniques for finding clients on LinkedIn without relying on a paid platform.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jeff Gargas, who shares insights on positioning yourself for a strong side hustle. Starting a side hustle requires dedication and obsession, but the rewards are worth it. Many struggle to know when to transition from side hustle to full-time gig, and it’s a unique journey for each individual.

About the Guest:

Jeff Gargas is the COO and Co-founder of the Teach Better Team (Creators of www.teachbetter.com, The Grid Method, and Teach Further) and co-author of the book, “Teach Better.” He works with educators to increase student engagement and improve student success. He also offers 1-on-1 coaching for teachers who have a product or idea they want to share with others to better education.
Key points discussed:

→ Jeff highlights the importance of finding your “sweet spot,” combining your passion and skills to help others.
→ Identifying your target audience and their pain points is crucial.
→ Content creation is key, encompassing podcasts, blog posts, videos, and more.
→ Building an email list is emphasized because it’s something you own and control.
→ Nurturing your email list by providing value is essential to eventually convert subscribers into customers.
→ The conversion doesn’t always mean monetary gain; it can also mean building a community of passionate supporters.
→ Even if your side hustle doesn’t directly relate to your career, it can provide stress relief and creative outlets.
→ Your side hustle can make you a better professional and enhance your overall quality of life.
