How do I get into remote nursing jobs?

Published

I need guidance/advice please! For those who have online nursing jobs can you please direct me how you started? 

I am currently working as a floor nurse in a nursing home, ADN degree, for about 12 yrs. For the past couple yrs I've been back and forth on deciding how/when I should pursue remote nursing. Since this field (nursing home/SNF) is my only experience, do I need to get certain certifications to be an "online nurse"? Is there a website for online nurses we go to, that has a step-by-step process we follow?

So I thought of browsing on Indeed and that's how I saw there's a "Compact license" that you should get in order to apply for remote nursing work. I didn't know this existed. Also, what are starting online nursing jobs titles?

 I see a lot of Utilization review, Clinical research navigator,  or Remote telephonic discharge planner, etc. Would any of those work for me to apply? 

Any info where to begin is appreciated! Thank you!

I work for AccessNurse, which is a part of TeamHealth, as an after-hours Telephone Triage RN. They have new RN classes almost every month. I started over 5 years ago. They prefer RNs with some recent experience in the ED/ICU/float pool. If this is the route you would want to go, I would suggest possibly gaining experience in the hospital before applying.

Does access nurse require you to work every weekend?
