Are you looking for side jobs for nurses? Well, it’s no surprise since lots of people in nursing would like to earn some extra money.
Perhaps you’re even looking for a venture that you could turn into a full-time gig someday?
Well, in today’s post, I’m going to cover some of the best side hustle ideas for nurses.
I’ll start with the top twenty side hustle ideas for nurses, which I’ll cover in detail. Some of these jobs are very much related to the nursing field and others have nothing to do with nursing at all but are great second job ideas for nurses. This means that there’s something for everyone here.
I’ll also cover a mix of work at home jobs for nurses, and jobs that get you out of the house.
After the top twenty, I’ll cover more jobs that you could consider doing.
Now, before we get started on the list, I have two things to mention.
Firstly, all payment figures, except where specified otherwise, are taken from PayScale, Salary.com, and ZipRecruiter. While these income figures may have been accurate at the time of writing, when you come to read the post, they may have changed.
Secondly, for some of the options on the list, I have linked directly to sites like Indeed, rather than to specific companies that other sites claim offer certain jobs. I’ve done this because companies aren’t always hiring for specific positions. So, let’s say you go to a company page for medical transcription jobs only to learn that company isn’t currently hiring for that position.
Sites like Indeed, however, have up to date job opportunities, So it saves you wasting your time!
Okay, so now that that’s out of the way, here’s the list of side jobs for nurses.
- 1.Telehealth nurses can make from $19 to $43 an hour, but the average pay is $31 an hour.
- Okay, so next on the list we have freelance writing. If you’re looking for side hustles for nurses, then I would highly recommend working as a freelance writer.
- It’s an incredibly flexible gig allowing you to pick up as much or as little work as you want to. One week, you could do just an article and the next week you could do five articles! It really is up to you how much you want to work with this one.
- Now, for this gig, you will need to have good grammar skills, be able to put together cohesive content, and have great research skills.
- Freelance writers work on everything from blog posts to books. You could choose to specialize in health or medical topics, or you could write about stuff that’s totally unrelated to nursing, like pets, technology, or crafts!
- While a degree is not required for many jobs, clients will want to see some samples of your writing. So, you’ll need to take the time to build up a portfolio that you can show to potential clients when you’re applying for a job.
- With freelance writing, how you get paid and how much you get paid varies.
- You can get paid per word, per hour, or per project.
- Most of the time, pay is per word. Of course, it depends on the client or website that you work with.
- Average hourly pay for freelance writers is $23, but pay can range from $12 to $58 an hour.
- Like I said above though, many clients and websites pay freelance writers per word. Pay can vary from as little as $0.01 per word to as much as $0.10 per word or even more than that.
- Pay can vary depending on the client that you work with. Pay per word or per project also varies on writing sites.
- For example, Textbroker pays you 0.7 cents to 5 cents a word, and with Verblio, pay starts at $10.50 for a 300 to 400 word post.
- Medical Transcriptionists listen to voice recordings made by physicians and other healthcare workers and then type or transcribe what they hear. Also, they may review and edit medical documents that have been created using speech recognition technology to ensure that everything in the document is correct.
- You could also consider setting up your own tutoring company and offering your services on your own website or on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
- Some companies require teachers to have a degree and even teaching experience, but that’s not always the case. So just check with the specific company that you plan to work with to see what its requirements are for tutors.
- What’s great about online tutoring work is that most jobs are freelance-based. This means that you can work as much or as little as you want to. So, you can easily fit in tutoring work around your regular nursing job.
- Online tutors earn $19 an hour on average. Pay though can vary from $15 to $20 an hour. However, it really depends on the company that you work with. For example, Skooli pays tutors up to $25 an hour.
- A medical coder is sort of like a translator who reviews a patient’s file and translates everything from that file into universal codes.
- Medical coding involves tasks like taking a patient’s medical records and recording them using a standard coding system that is recognized throughout the United States.
- Medical coding may seem similar to medical transcription, but the two are different. Instead of transcribing text as you would as a medical transcriptionist, you are rendering it into code.
- Medical coders earn $14 to $26 an hour with the average hourly pay being $18.
- Selling stuff on Etsy is a great way to make some money on the side. You can sell lots of different things on the platform, like clothing, furniture, crafts, and artwork. Etsy is mostly focused on handmade, refurbished, and antique items.
- To get started, you just need some great products to sell, and then you can simply set up your Etsy store.
- How much money you make from Etsy will be determined by the number of products that you sell, and how much you sell each item for.
- Also, do keep in mind that with Etsy, you do have to pay $0.20 to list an item for sale on the site. And, when you sell something on there, you have to pay a 5% transaction fee and 3% plus $0.25 payment processing fee.
- Also, Etsy will charge you a fee if you make a sale from one of its offsite ads which advertises your item across the internet.
- If you’re looking for a side job that’s totally different to nursing, shopping for and delivering groceries could be a great option for you.
- What’s great about Instacart and Shipt is that they allow you to pick up work whenever it suits you. So you can work just a few hours if you want to or a dozen hours or even more than that. It really is up to you!
- What’s great about this gig is that Instacart pays fast! Using the site’s Instant Cashout feature, you can cash out your earnings every day. Or you can choose to get paid weekly.
- How much you get paid will depend on the app that you use, how many deliveries you make, and the number of hours that you work.
- With Instacart, you can earn between $5 and $25 an hour, and the average pay rate is $14 an hour. With Shipt, you can earn up to $22 an hour.
- Personal care aides work with individuals at home to help them with everyday activities, such as using the bathroom, preparing or eating meals, helping with hygiene and grooming, taking medication, bathing, and completing housework and other chores.
- Driving for these companies offers you a flexible way to make money. Simply take the ride requests that you want to when it suits you.
- Uber drivers earn $15 an hour on average. But pay can vary though from $3 to $35 an hour. Lyft pays $16 an hour on average, but pay can range from $3 to $43 an hour.
- The great thing about driving for Uber or Lyft, aside from the fact that they offer work that you can pick up when it suits you, is that they both pay you instantly.
- With Uber, you can use the Instant Pay feature to cash out your earnings whenever you want to. You can cash out your earnings up to 5 times a day with Instant Pay. But, it’s not a free feature. You have to pay about $0.50 per cash out.
- Lyft also pays fast. With its Express Pay feature, you can cash out your earnings instantly and they will appear in your account within a few hours. It could take you a few days depending on your bank’s processing time.
- This feature isn’t free as Lyft charges a $0.50 transfer fee. Even if you don’t use the Express Pay feature, Lyft will pay you weekly, which is still fast payment.
- Camp nurses provide routine and emergency care to campers, monitor any chronic conditions that a camper may have, work with management to provide a healthy environment, educate staff about health concerns, and administer medications for campers who have acute or chronic health issues.
- Average pay for proofreaders is $17 an hour. For freelance editors, the average pay is $25 an hour.
- You could easily make $1,000s extra a month with proofreading and editing.
- If you would like to get started with proofreading, then I would highly recommend that you take a look at my proofreading guide.
- Are you a nurse who wants to earn a passive income? Then you might want to consider starting a blog.
- I’ll level with you here – blogging doesn’t make you money right away. No one is going to pay you just for simply uploading content.
- But, if you take the time to post articles consistently and you build up a following you can start making money from your blog.
- There are lots of ways to monetize a blog. You could post ads on your site with Google AdSense and get paid whenever somebody views or clicks on the ads. Or you could create sponsored content for brands. There are lots of options for making money from a blog.
- Of course, you’ll need to build up a following if you want to earn money from your blog.
- To get started, you’ll need to choose a topic, which could be in the health or medical niche, or it could be a topic that’s entirely unrelated to nursing like gardening, cooking, makeup, or fishing, for example. There are plenty of topics out there, so choose one and start creating content about it.
- Just upload quality content on a consistent basis and you can start to gain a following for your blog.
- How much money you earn depends on how many visitors your site gets, and how you monetize it. You could potentially make $1,000s a month from blogging. The thing about blogging is that your site can make you money as you sleep!
- Another great passive income idea for nurses is publishing books through Kindle Direct Publishing.
- It’s a program from Amazon that allows anyone to publish their own books on Amazon. This could be non-fiction, which could be things like cookbooks or how-to guides, or it could be fiction, so things like mystery novels.
- You can write and publish the books using KDP. When your books sell, you get paid. Amazon pays you from 35% to 70% commission. Those royalty rates are far higher than those you’d find from a traditional publisher, which is great.
- What’s great about making money from books is that once you’ve published the book and have marketed it, you keep making money passively from then on.
- How much money you make from your books depends on the percentage of commission that you get and how many books you sell. You could eventually make $1,000s a month selling your books on Amazon.
- If you’re looking to make cash, then you might want to do local gigs and shifts.
