Remote registered nurse jobs exist in telehealth, phone triage, case management, utilization review, nursing informatics and insurance review. They are registered nurse jobs without direct patient care at the bedside, though many still involve talking with patients by phone or video.

Nursing practice takes place where the patient is located, so a remote nurse needs a licence that is valid in the patient's state. A multistate licence under the Nurse Licensure Compact covers the member states, and the posting says which licences it accepts.

New grad registered nurse jobs are for nurses who have recently finished school. To be licensed, you graduate from an approved nursing program and pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and your state board of nursing sets any further requirements.

1. Apply to your state board of nursing and register for the NCLEX-RN.
2. Search for new grad, nurse residency and graduate nurse postings, which are designed for registered nurse jobs with no experience.
3. Apply early, since many residency programs hire in groups with fixed start dates.
4. Bring your clinical rotation experience and any certifications, such as Basic Life Support, to the interview.
