Congrats! Will you be working in a physician's office? I have been a telephone triage nurse for over 8 years in a physician's office and it truly is an art, just like any other nursing specialty.
I know you can get certified, but I can't remember how. I think there is a society of telephone triage nursing.
Good luck!
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. You will probably love it if you don't mind being on the phones. We don't have to wear headsets or anything and it's laid back, voicemails can be left and will be returned. Not alot of pressure, other than to notify the physician of any issues that are presented.
