Those who work at healthcare organizations may provide virtual patient education on disease processes, medication side effects, medical devices and other items through technology platforms.

However, all institutional nurse educator roles require a higher or terminal degree for the courses in which they provide instruction. For example, an LPN can teach new LPNs but can\u2019t educate RNs or APRNs since they have a higher degree.

Nurse writers can create patient education materials, healthcare publications, blog posts and other content. You can transition to freelance writing by taking specialized courses, finding a writing agency or offering free writing services to build your portfolio. LPNs, RNs and APRNs can be freelance writers, but the hiring company may require specific qualifications and nursing backgrounds.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_health_informatics_specialist\"><\/span><b>5.

This role requires strong math, research and some IT coding skills, as most data is abstracted from an electronic medical record.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most health informatics nursing jobs require a bachelor&#8217;s degree at minimum, so LPNs usually won\u2019t find positions in this field.

Therefore, clinical research coordination is limited to APRNs and BSN-prepared RNs. Most companies require at least one year of clinical research experience before transitioning to a remote role.

Legal nurse consultants can act as expert witnesses, prepare information for trials, and review medical records and insurance claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those who choose this career must hold an RN license, so LPNs aren\u2019t eligible for this role.

In most cases, they review medical necessity, but claims specialists may also analyze patient information to prevent fraud, waste and abuse. Insurance claims specialists also review treatment plans and coordinate with healthcare providers to ensure insurance coverage of care services, procedures and medications. They may work to reduce healthcare costs by negotiating insurance settlements and authorizing or denying payments. Depending on the scope of duties required by the organization or insurance company, LPNs, RNs and APRNs can work as insurance claims specialists.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_nurse_recruiter\"><\/span><b>9.

Although most organizations require a bachelor\u2019s degree in human resources, nurses can transition to this role with experience. Understanding the different nursing specialties and clinical skills gives you an upper hand in finding highly qualified candidates. RNs and APRNs have a deep understanding of nursing roles, so they can easily transition to work-from-home nurse recruiter roles. Some LPN work-from-home jobs are available for those seeking this type of role.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_wellness_coach\"><\/span><b>10.

As a wellness coach, you provide engaging education about disease processes, weight loss, nutrition or other health-related topics.
