Remote nursing jobs are licensed RN and LPN roles done from a home office by phone, video, secure messaging or chart review. Most are with health plans, telehealth companies and care-management groups that need clinical judgment but not hands on a patient: approving or questioning a hospital stay, coaching a member through a chronic condition, or deciding whether a symptom needs the ER tonight.
Every job on this page is a fully remote nursing role checked against the employer's own careers page before it was listed. Each listing says which licenses it accepts, so you can tell at a glance whether your license qualifies. A listing drops off this page when its closing date passes.
Types of remote nursing jobs
Four job families make up almost all remote nursing work. The pay column is the midpoint of the pay range across live JobSnag listings in each family (October 2026, salaried roles converted at 2,080 hours a year), so treat it as a snapshot rather than a guarantee.
| Role | What you do | Typical pay on JobSnag listings | License |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utilization review / management RN | Review requests for admissions, procedures and post-acute care against criteria such as InterQual or MCG, and approve, pend or escalate them. | ~$41/hr (range seen $27–$62) | RN |
| Case / care management RN | Coach members with chronic or complex conditions by phone, build care plans and manage transitions after a hospital discharge. | ~$43/hr (range seen $26–$75) | RN; CCM often preferred |
| Triage / telehealth RN | Answer nurse lines, after-hours and hospice calls or patient messages, and use protocols to decide the right level of care. | ~$34/hr (range seen $25–$43) | RN, often compact |
| Remote LPN / LVN | Care coordination, intake, remote patient monitoring and first-level utilization review under RN supervision. | ~$27/hr (range seen $21–$41) | LPN / LVN |

For a national baseline, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median of $97,550 a year ($46.90 an hour) for registered nurses and $64,400 ($30.96 an hour) for LPNs and LVNs, as of May 2025 (BLS: registered nurses, BLS: LPNs and LVNs). Most remote listings here sit below those medians; the trade-off is no commute and no 12-hour shifts.
Compact licenses and remote nursing
A nurse must be licensed in the state where the patient is located at the time of care, even when the care happens over the phone. That is why remote nursing listings are so specific about licenses, and why many of them require a multistate license under the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), which lets one license cover every compact state.
According to the NCSBN compact map (updated August 2026), the compact is fully implemented in these 40 states:
AL · AZ · AR · CO · CT · DE · FL · GA · ID · IN · IA · KS · KY · LA · ME · MD · MS · MO · MT · NE · NH · NJ · NM · NC · ND · OH · OK · PA · RI · SC · SD · TN · TX · UT · VT · VA · WA · WV · WI · WY
Massachusetts, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands have passed the compact but are not issuing multistate licenses yet. California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii and Washington, D.C. are not members.
How to read the license line on each listing
- "Multistate/compact license required": you need a multistate license, which you can only get if your primary home is in one of the 40 states above.
- "Must reside in" or "must hold a license in" a list of states: only those states qualify, even if you hold a compact license.
- "Remote — United States": the employer did not limit states in the posting. Confirm the license rules with the employer before you apply.
If you live in a non-compact state such as California or New York, look for listings that name your state directly. Most compact-only roles are closed to you.
What employers ask for
Remote nursing is not an entry-level path. Across the listings on this page, the recurring requirements are:
- Clinical experience first. RN listings commonly ask for two to five years of hands-on nursing; LPN roles often ask for one to three.
- The right background for the role. Acute care or ICU experience helps for utilization review, home health or chronic-care experience for case management, and ER or urgent care for triage.
- Criteria and coding know-how. Utilization review postings often mention InterQual, MCG, ICD-10 or CPT.
- A real home office. A private room for confidential calls, and on some postings a hardwired internet connection or a speed test.
- Set hours. Most roles run on a fixed time zone, and many triage lines need evenings, nights, weekends or holidays.

Protect yourself

Remote Nursing Jobs — FAQ
Can a new grad nurse get a remote nursing job?
Rarely at first. Almost every remote RN listing on JobSnag asks for prior hands-on clinical experience, commonly two to five years, because you have to assess patients you cannot see. Remote LPN roles often ask for one to three years.
Do I need a license in the state where my patients live?
Yes. A nurse must be licensed in the state where the patient is located at the time of care, even over the phone or video. A multistate license under the Nurse Licensure Compact covers all compact states at once; for the rest you need a separate single-state license.
Which states are in the Nurse Licensure Compact?
As of the NCSBN map updated in August 2026, the compact is fully implemented in 40 states, including Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio and North Carolina. Massachusetts, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands have enacted it but are not issuing multistate licenses yet. California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii and Washington, D.C. are not members.
How much do remote nurses earn?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts the median at $97,550 a year for registered nurses and $64,400 for LPNs and LVNs (May 2025). On JobSnag's live remote listings in October 2026, the typical midpoint was about $41 an hour for utilization review, $43 for case management, $34 for triage and $27 for LPN roles.
What equipment do I need to work as a remote nurse?
It varies by employer. Expect to need a private, quiet room where no one can overhear patient information, and some postings require a wired (hardwired) internet connection or a minimum speed test. Check each listing's requirements.
Is remote nursing worth it?
If you have a few years of clinical experience and a license that matches the listing, remote nursing trades some pay and the bedside pace for set hours and no commute. Start with the license line on each job above, then browse the wider nursing jobs and remote healthcare jobs hubs.
