Greetings, dear Sara. As a registered nurse, there are several freelancing options you could consider to earn extra money. Here are some ideas based on current information: Remote Nursing Jobs: Many companies offer opportunities to work remotely in roles such as case manager, clinical strategist, and appeals consultant.
Audit and quality assurance: You can work reviewing medical records or data abstraction to ensure the quality of health services.
Case Management: Help plan and coordinate care for patients, including tasks such as referrals and billing issues.
Clinical informatics: Use your nursing knowledge to improve health information systems.
Clinical research: Participate in clinical studies and trials, collecting and analyzing medical data.
Health coaching: Offering advice and support to people to improve their health and wellbeing.
Legal Nurse Consulting: Working with attorneys, providing medical expertise in legal cases.
Medical writing: Write scientific documents, magazine articles, or educational content for patients.
Nursing Entrepreneurship: Create your own business in the healthcare field, such as a consulting clinic or nursing services company.
Nursing Education: Teaching future nurses in academic programs or through online platforms.
Telehealth: Provide care and consultations to patients through digital means.
Telephone triage: Assess patient needs over the telephone and direct them to appropriate care.
Utilization management: Review treatments and procedures to ensure they are necessary and effective.
These are just a few of the many possibilities that exist for registered nurses looking to expand their professional horizons and generate additional income. I recommend researching each option and considering which best aligns with your skills, interests, and schedule. Much success in your clinics and in your search for independent opportunities! Fondly. Yesenia

As a certified RN, you have a world of opportunities at your fingertips. While as a student, your options may seem narrower, there's still plenty you can do. Consider gaining credentials as a MA or CNA. This will open doors for you to gain valuable medical experience. As an RN, your skills can be applied in a variety of consultant roles. You could find yourself working in the insurance or legal sectors, providing per diem nursing in a facility or for home care, tutoring, handling billing, or even working in the pharmaceutical or medical device industry. The possibilities are truly endless!

You could get your certification for CNA or Become a QMA who is allowed to pass medication and check blood sugars without having to be a nurse and you learn all about medications and all about things that a nurse tempically does so that would be a great job to get you prepared and ready when you get your RN licenses.

My suggestion is similar to the above. You cannot work as a nurse until you finish but a CNA and then a medication technician certification allows you to make some in the interim. You could also get an LPN first and go back for an RN to allow you to earn some income.
