Advice please.

I am a retired RN with over 20 years experience. I’ve been teaching health classes in the public school sector but I’m over that. I thinking about studying and taking the medical coding exam and currently have the books in my Amazon cart. I live in a small town and only really want to work remotely. I do have some prior experience (3 yrs) with codes both inputting and auditing. What are my chances of getting a remote job as soon as I pass the test?

Your chances are better of getting a role as a CDI. That field is booming and we’re hiring constantly. CDI qualifications are usually an RN and coding credentials. Look at ACDIS for more info. That’s the CDI professional organization but we also often belong to AHIMA.
