Opportunities allowing nurses to perform their duties from a location other than a traditional healthcare setting, identified as superior in quality, compensation, or work-life balance, are increasingly prevalent. Examples include telehealth nursing, remote case management, and virtual utilization review, where nurses leverage technology to provide care, consultation, and administrative support remotely.
The significance of these opportunities stems from their capacity to address healthcare access disparities, particularly in underserved areas. They also offer nurses enhanced flexibility and autonomy, potentially leading to improved job satisfaction and reduced burnout. Historically, such roles were limited, but advancements in communication technology and the growing demand for accessible healthcare have fueled their expansion.
