In this episode of My Nurse Specialty, I talk with Nurse Daisy about how she moved from bedside nursing into a full-time remote role as a prior authorization nurse. She shares her path from skilled nursing and emergency nursing into the insurance side of healthcare and how this work-from-home specialty became the right fit for her.

We also talk about what this role looks like day to day, what skills transfer well, what nurses should look for when applying, and the benefits and challenges of remote nursing. Daisy gives a realistic look at this specialty for nurses who want more routine, flexibility, and a non-bedside path.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn

• What a prior authorization nurse does in a remote role.
