Is it telecommuting pie in the sky for me???


I have been working as a school nurse since Sept. 2007. I have a few years of experience, mostly in psych and geriatrics, from the 1990s. I never really learned the "real thing", the med-surg and other hospital-based specialties (CCU, ER, ICU, etc.). Given this limited experience, can anyone tell me if there is any way I could get into telephone triage or any other nursing job involving telecommuting? At this time in my life, I am definitely not up for getting the med-surg experience (I wasn't up for it even when I was young).

Tiddly,

I think you already know the answer.... you can't provide triage advice if you are not clinically competent in that area.

What about case management? It is more 'protocol driven' based on established guidelines. Have you looked into case reviewer jobs with insurance companies?
