Need advice from case managers that work from home. Should I take this job?

Specialties Case Management

Hi there! I just got an opportunity to work from home as a case manager. I would have to make some patient visits (around 10 patients a month). I have a 9 month old and was hoping to have a job where I would be able to maximize my time with him. I would have a babysitter to watch him during the day if I were to take this job since it would be impossible to take care of him and work at the same time. But I want to ask those who work at home, is it really as flexible as it sounds? or do you have tons of work and work more than 8 hours a day to catch up?

I have other options for work which includes working prn on the weekends and doing some clinical teaching twice a week.

The money is equitable for both. I really want to see my son everyday since it is hard to leave him home but I want to go into the work at home job with the right kind of expectations.

Any insight would be welcome!

Thanks!

I currently work form home and I LOVE it ........so far. the downside is I don't have much of a social life and I don't have many friends. so being in the house all day long.. can really get to a person. My boys are busy with their own life now that they are much older. but other than that, I don't have any qualms about working from home. I am about to start a BSN program, because I have the time to do it now. may as well. but yes! if you get the chance to work from home, one should definitely try it. at least try it for a different work experience. that's my thoughts.

Did you take the position?
