On-line Nursing? Advise Column.

Published

Specializes in Geriatrics.

I do not know if this is the correct forum, but I need advise. I received a job offer working as a nurse answering general health questions on-line or by email for an on-line newspaper. Would this be a valid job? Would it in any way violate the NPA? I can not find any answers in my states NPA or from the TXBNE site. I see this type job as more or less a teaching aspect of nursing. What do you think? Are there any legal aspects or ramifications I should know about before considering this job? Any and all advise, thoughts and information will be helpful.

Thanks.

If someone writes in asking what (fill in blank) means, no harm in answering that. If, however, someone asks how to treat a problem, that would be practicing medicine without a license.
