I’m so happy-I just signed the paperwork for my first CDI job offer, I never thought I’d get here!! This is for those nurses trying to break into remote CDI without CDI experience, don’t give up, it can be done!!
I’m a nurse in Belgium and currently work as a self-employed home care nurse. I’m mainly looking for new opportunities, but I absolutely do not want to work as an employee.
The reason I’m looking for new ideas is that I see the healthcare landscape becoming increasingly demanding and less efficient, with more care requests, longer-term care needs, and all the well-known challenges within nursing and healthcare.
I’m 30 years old and honestly don’t see myself doing home nursing for another five years.
This isn’t something I suddenly decided recently. I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time, but I haven’t been able to find many reliable or realistic opportunities to move into.
I’m not afraid of putting time and effort into something. I’ve spent quite a lot of time already looking for ideas as a self-employed person / entrepreneur — using ChatGPT, Google, and talking to people both inside and outside healthcare.
It doesn’t necessarily have to involve traditional nursing. I’m open to ideas where my medical knowledge, reliability, experience with people and nursing background could be an advantage.
For example, I’ve been thinking about:
Services for companies
Temporary or specialised healthcare services
Medical support at events
Prevention or testing services
Medical support for specific industries or sectors
Niche services that currently barely exist
B2B or B2C services
Combining healthcare with another industry
Starting a completely new business where my nursing background could be an advantage
I’m really looking for opportunities that go beyond the obvious “become a home nurse / work in a hospital / nursing home” type of suggestions.
I’d love to hear from people who have thought outside the box, started something themselves, or have experience with unusual business opportunities in healthcare or related industries.
What opportunities do you think are still out there? What niches do you see that are currently underserved? And has anyone here successfully built something independently starting from a professional background like nursing?
Any ideas, experiences or perspectives are very welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Looking for some advice….
I received an offer for a utilization review role at ensemble. It’s significantly less pay than what I’m making now, so I’m hesitant to accept. I also saw reviews for the company and they are awful. Does anyone here have any insight?
Thanks!
Looking for reviews/information on the remote rn patient care manager position with caregenix.
