You can just do a search for telephone traige, or telehealth or phone triage and you come up with lots of companies. Most of them have a place where you can contact them or send them your resume. I found my job through Craigslist but my co. no longer advertises through Craigslist anymore.

I think there really are telephone triage companies. I have googled them and got a few listed. But how well they pay Or if they re done out of your home, I don't know. I know that there really is telephone triage- I do it at my current position but that is in a family practice office- I spend 85-90% of my time(8 hr day) on the phone. I have my own office, my own computer and my own phone. I get callers with symptoms- abd pain, chest pain, sore throat, fever flu. I am asked for med refills and specialist referrals also. I think my triage is a bit different than what is being discussed. I only get calls from my assigned patients. I can get the same patient calling me 2-3 times a week. I am assigned to 2 providers and we only have approx 2,500 patients. I also have walk in face to face patients that sometimes need triaging to urgent care or the ED.We take turns being on the RRT team for the clinic. There are 4 other RN's in the office with the same patient load. I think what is being discussed is call center type calls for a larger membership or network- similar to an agency that an insurance company or a number of medical practices would contract with. There is no face to face direct patient care. It's all telephonic. The calls could be from a certain geographic location.

There are a number of telephone triage sets of protcols-(1) Woodke (adult, peds and OB/GYN protocols), (2) Wheeler- (Adult,??Peds and OB/GYN protocals) and (3) Barton & Schmitt-( Peds protocols only). Telephone triage is under the Ambulatory Care Nursing speciality and can also qualify for Med/Surg.

I have been doing this for over 1 year as a temp on a military base and I love it. I found this position on USAJOBS and applied for it over 2 yrs ago when I was on unemployment for 7 months before I was called for an interview and with the stack of applicants- I was surprised I got it. I haven't been this happy with a nursing position in YEARS. I work with a really super group of people. I hope I never have to go back to the hospital floors again. I used to think hospital nursing was the only kind of nursing I would consider. Like some one else said- the only good thing about the hospital is the pay. My position doesn't pay well- approx $12.00/hr less than what I would make in the hospital. It took approx 7 -8 months before I overcame the learning curve and that was with 30 yrs of acute care bedside experience, including critical care experience. A 'walk in' respiratory pt would probably scare me but they scared me in the hospital also (even with all the resources avail.at a blink of an eye). Telephone triage- My favorite nursing
