5 Remote Nursing Jobs That Pay Over $90k (Sweatpants Optional, Paycheck Mandatory)
General Topics
Ditch the break-room coffee—these 5 remote nursing gigs all pay $90k+ and let you work from wherever you call home.
If you’re thinking remote nursing means a pay cut, let’s put that myth on bed rest. Plenty of virtual RN gigs not only let you keep your daytime pajamas sacred, but they’ll also put your salary (and sanity) on the mend. Here’s a rundown of five telehealth nursing roles making bank—no 12-hour shifts or hospital fluorescent lights in sight.
Ever caught yourself fixing the EMR or showing coworkers how to chart smarter? Nurse informaticists bridge that glorious gap between IT and clinical care. Most major health systems—think Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, and even Providence (remote roles posted regularly!)—need nurses who can turn techy talk into nurse-speak and support system-wide projects. With typical salaries ranging from $95k to $120k, your love of troubleshooting pays off big time.
NPs have never been hotter on the job market, especially for remote roles. From primary care to behavioral health, Telehealth NPs at companies like Teladoc, Amwell, and even CVS Health often take home $100k–$130k (and that’s before overtime). Scope out states like California, Texas, and New York for even bigger paychecks—and check licensure requirements!
If you’re the type to spot a missing decimal from a mile away, being a remote CDIS could fit like your favorite comfy hoodie. These nurses audit charts for accuracy and quality, usually working for health systems, insurance companies, or consulting firms like Nuance or Optum. Annual salaries routinely start at $90k and soar to $110k+ for experienced RNs with strong clinical know-how.
Nurse case managers keep patients thriving across care settings—now, you can do it from your kitchen counter. Remote case manager jobs are big with insurance giants like UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Aetna, and many pay north of $90k, especially in higher-cost-of-living regions. Expect lots of phone, video, and documentation work—plus grateful patients who never have to put on pants for appointments.
Every nursing school and hospital needs pros to prep the next generation and upskill current staff. Online programs and virtual hospitals want experienced RNs to teach, train, and mentor. Look for recent job posts from Western Governors University, Chamberlain, and Penn Foster with starting salaries around $90k—and higher if you have an MSN or teaching experience.
