Common questions

How many nursing jobs are listed right now?

There are 82 current listings on this page, 20 of them posted in the last 7 days. Listings are refreshed from their sources regularly and removed when they close.

Can people over 50 or 60 apply for these nursing jobs?

Yes. Every job here is open to all qualified applicants. In the United States, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects applicants and employees aged 40 and older from age discrimination by employers with 20 or more employees, and many state laws go further.

How much do nursing jobs pay?

Among current listings that state their pay, the range is $49,418 to $278,796 a year (17 listings with yearly pay). Many listings don't include pay, so ask the employer before you accept an interview.

Are any of these nursing jobs remote or part-time?

Of the 82 current listings, 0 are remote and 3 are part-time, based on how the employer describes the job.

Can I return to nursing after years away?

Often, yes. Start by checking your license status with your state board of nursing. If it has lapsed, many states require a refresher course or clinical hours before reactivation; requirements vary by state. Some employers offer transition programs for returning nurses.

Are there nursing jobs that are less physically demanding?

Yes. Case management, utilization review, telephone triage, school nursing, clinic work and nursing education generally involve less lifting than hospital bedside care. Some of these roles can be done partly or fully remotely, though they are less common than in-person positions.
