Episode 139: Remote Nursing Jobs for Writers With Sadie Glisson

12/07/21 • 19 min

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.

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
