You're welcome my dear. Make whatever choice is best for you and your family. I have faith that you will succeed either way. Have a good weekend. ?

It's nothing but phone time. LOL. That's just the nature of telehealth. Yes, at times it can be stressful. But my personal experience is that the stress of talking to patients on the phone is nowhere near as stressful as the typical day on the floor. If you have a difficult patient on the phone, you are done with them once you complete the call - unlike the floor where you may be with them 12 hours. The company is still young and growing. The culture is pretty laid back. I think everyone is pretty nice. And I have a great team. I wouldn't go back to the floor even for agency money. It's safe to say that I'm spoiled. LOL. Do you know what account you interviewed for?

I don't have the ability to DM you. But yes, I still work at RC. ?

Sure. The name of the company is RelateCare. They advertise on Indeed.com. Nurses with a license in either OH, FL, CA, NC, WI, MN, MI, MA, or a compact license to the front of the line! LOL.

I work for a company that outsources various telehealth roles for hospitals and clinics in the US and abroad. Floor nurses don't have time to answer phones and triage patients. So that's where we come in. We provide both clinical (triage, post discharge follow-up, preoperative calls, med refills) and non clinical (appointment scheduling) services.

CONGRATS! It looks like you will be rotating from days for 7 days in a row, then off two days, then evenings for 7 days in a row , then two days off, then nights for 7 days in a row, then three days off, then back to days.

Girl you need to get a letter from your OB stating that you cannot work with COVID patients! I wish you well.

I couldn't have said it better. Very accurate answer! We too are held to metrics. And most companies have software installed on your computer that allows them to see exactly what you are doing. But I still wouldn't trade it for the world.

The workload varies depending on your employer - just like any other job. Yes, most remote nursing jobs time your breaks. They use software that monitors your activity including keystrokes - so they know when you are actively working or not. And they know exactly what you are doing. Remote nursing is still a job and you will need to conduct yourself the same. You will need a sitter and will not be able to take care of your baby while at work. I have only worked for one company. I have done triage, answered the phones for a hospital's internal medicine department, and am currently making post discharge follow up calls. I stay busy, but wouldn't trade it for the world. No amount to talking on the phone is worse (for me) than a typical day on the floor! LOL. I work in my pajamas and am quite spoiled. ?

You would possibly be able to get $35 from one of the large insurance companies. You would be very lucky to get $30 from a smaller triage company. Telehealth typically pays less because it is not physical work. The hours really depend on the position. Work from home nurses work a variety of hours and shifts much like floor nurses - three 12's, four 10's, five 8's, 1st shift, 2nd shift, 3rd shift. The possibilities are endless and will depend on the need to corporation/client.

Most places have hiring freezes in place for their work from home staff because they are trying to save money due to costs encourred by COVID-19.

Hello, The pay depends on your experience and the region that you live in. I will say that most jobs tend to pay slightly less than the floor because there is virtually no physical work involved. The big insurance companies tend to pay the most. Shifts vary based on assignment and depend on your role. For instance, most case managers work daytime hours. However, triage nurses can work around the clock. Most nurse advice lines are open 24/7. I will say that due to COVID-19 most companies have a hiring freeze on their auxiliary work from home staff. Many hospitals are currently focusing their resources on the floor staff. And all the big insurance companies have freezes in place to cut back on cost because they pledged to eat the cost of care for COVID-19 patients without insurance. I would say a triage job probably would be the best bet as far as probability of finding a job in our current circumstances due to increased incoming calls regarding COVID-19 questions.

Since March 2018.

I work from home making post discharge calls to patients to see how they've been doing since they left the hospital. We have a survey that we follow. If there is an issue, he have email and phone contacts for the hospital. I have set work hours. And since people are constantly being discharged, we never run out of week. I previously worked both for a hospital and nursing home. But everyone's background on our team has a unique background. The pay is hourly.

I work for a company called RelateCare. They outsource various telephone nursing duties for various hospitals and clinics throughout the US. We're located in Cleveland, Ohio and the corporate office is in Ireland. They do hire out of state nurses - if you have a license in a state that they have an account with. I found them on Indeed. They have accounts in OH, FL, WI, MN, TX, and NC. This was my 1st telehealth job.
