FAQs for Remote Nurse Salaries
How much do remote nurses make in the United States?
The answer varies significantly based on the specific role, your experience, location, and company type.
On average, salaries align closely with bedside nursing in most states (high cost of living states can be an exception to this), though certain roles like utilization review, case management, and biotech can exceed traditional bedside pay once you have experience. Our full report includes salary ranges by job title, company, and state.
While starting salaries may be comparable to bedside, nontraditional nursing roles often provide more opportunities for significant salary growth over time through role advancement. In contrast, bedside nursing advancement is typically via a clinical ladder program, or leaving bedside care and transitioning into management to advance.
Do remote nursing salaries differ by state?
Yes. Just as bedside nursing pay varies widely across the country, remote nurse salaries are also influenced by state licensure and local cost of living. A utilization review nurse in California may earn 30–40% more than the same role in Ohio. Use the state filter in our report to see averages where you’re licensed.
What is the highest-paid remote nursing job?
Some of the highest-paying remote nurse roles are in utilization review, biotech, clinical informatics, and leadership positions. These often exceed six figures, particularly for nurses with several years of experience or advanced certifications. To read more about this topic, check out these posts:

Case manager salaries are competitive with other remote nursing roles.

Do nurse practitioners earn more in remote roles?
Nurse practitioners (NPs) working remotely may see higher salaries than RNs, depending on whether the role specifically requires an NP license. Roles such as telehealth NP, psychiatric NP, or roles in the biotech industry often command premium pay. NP’s who have multiple state licenses are often in high demand for telehealth roles, which leads to higher salaries.
Are remote nursing salaries lower than bedside salaries?
Not always. Entry-level remote roles may start slightly lower, especially for nurses transitioning into a new specialty. However, the long-term earning potential is often greater in remote or nontraditional roles due to opportunities in leadership, consulting, biotech, or quality management.
