7) Summary: Side gigs for nurses/ nursing students

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bojw@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Anonymous

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 16 December

Query:

Hi, I'm writing an article on best side-gigs for nurses... I'd
love to include COVID-safe side gigs that nurses can work
remotely or with minimal face-to-face interaction, but this is
not a requirement. I already have "writing" and "teaching" as
side-gigs, and need 2-3 more ideas, so if you have great nurse
side-gig ideas to submit other than those, that would be
wonderful.

I'm looking for part-time side-gigs that nurses could
potentially do in addition to their full-time clinical nursing
role. It could also be something that could turn into a
full-time career, should someone want to get out of clinical
nursing, but that's not a must either.

Please reply with answers for the following: What is the
side-gig? Why is it a great side-gig for nurses? How can nurses
start this side-gig or apply for jobs with this side gig? Are
any additional credentials/degrees/qualifications required for
this side gig and if so what are they? What is the pay range for
this side gig? (hourly or per shift etc) Pls include anything
else that's important for readers (nurses) to know about this
side-gig.

Requirements:

Would love sources who are nurses, or healthcare
administrators/hiring managers/recruiters who employ / recruit
nurses.

To what extent will AI both enable and destroy deepfakes in the
months and years ahead - what your hunch here? 10. What can we
expect regarding AI regulation (internationally, federally,
etc.) in the months and years ahead? 11. How and to what extent

Query:

Our Thought Leaders in Artificial Intelligence (TLAI) blog is a
follow-up to our highly successful Thought Leaders in Cloud
Computing (TLCC) (http://www.sramanamitra.com/big-data/) series.
In TLAI, we interview thought leaders in the artificial
intelligence sectors -- whether they are entrepreneurs building
great companies, product/user experience designers building
great products, or executives at large companies with unique
perspectives on how the industry is evolving. We discuss trends,
disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities, monetization models,
challenges, socio-cultural impact and much more in a seven-part
series. Of particular interest to us is the use of machine
learning techniques in scaling analytics models within Big Data.
This blog is part of the One Million by One Million global
initiative, whose aim is to help a million entrepreneurs reach
$1 million in annual revenue. 1M/1M has syndication
relationships with many venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends,
EconomicTimes (India), Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post,
Business Insider, ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites.
Articles we develop through these interviews often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs) and among the top 100 influencers on
the topic of cloud computing. Indicate in your pitch the revenue
level, as we use this as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. Please also provide the story
angle, talking points, etc., so we can gauge what is the thought
leadership point of view we will be highlighting in the series.
Our audience is extremely sophisticated, so the conversation
needs to be equally interesting. Sramana Mitra was also named as
one of the top 10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015
(https://goo.gl/AN9TjS).
