I have put in an application with TeamHealth, but haven't heard back from them. Could one of you who works there answer a question for me? I would like to know if the WAH equipment needed, such as the computer and phone set-up, is furnished for those who are hired? I have both call center and WAH experience, and all of the necessary equipment was furnished by the employer when I worked from home. I recently interviewed for a job with CareNet, also a WAH nurse triage company, and was surprised to learn that I would have to supply my own PC. I only have a MacBook, so that didn't work for me. If anyone can answer this question for me, I would really appreciate it! Also, can you give me at least a ballpark idea of the hourly pay rate? Thanks so much!

Thanks for the heads-up! I did apply at the job fair in March, and got really favorable feedback, so I left thinking I had the job. A couple of days later, I received an email from the HR person assigned to me, saying that they were not going to be hiring for the positions after all, but would know more at the beginning of the next quarter. I thought this might be a brush-off, but I checked around, and they had pulled all their ads. I couldn't wait, though, and took a job doing home health. In mid-April (a couple of weeks into the next quarter), I emailed again. They are *still* not hiring! So, as good as the benefits sounded, I guess it worked out for the best. If they had hired me, then suffered whatever financial setbacks they seem to be having, I'm sure I would have been the first one let go! Katherine

I was wondering if anyone has worked or is working for Healthways doing telephonic disease management? I would like to know anything you can tell me about the job, the working environment, pay, benefits, etc. I think it has also been called American Healthways. I am getting ready to apply at the local branch, which I think is in Franklin. Thanks! Katherine

Hi schatzie RN, Thanks for the reply! It's good to hear that someone who works there likes it, and the the pay is comparable (we hope) to a hospital. From what I saw on their website, they have 8-hour and 10-hours shifts. I don't know if they have part-time work or not. I hope we will both find what we need today at the job fair. At least they will have refreshments and massages!:nuke: casey-cat

I am planning to go to a job fair next week, held by a national company with an office in the Franklin/Brentwood area of Middle Tennessee. The company is HMC. Apparently, they hire RNs to do telephonic health counseling and coaching to patients all over the country. They have a very nice website, and what sounds like a great list of benefits. However, they seem to advertise for the same positions frequently, which makes me wonder if they have a high turnover. I would love to hear from anyone who has ever worked for HMC, or knows anything about the working conditions there. What is the pay scale like? How is the work? Do you/did you enjoy working there? Was it boring? Pros and Cons? Any information you can give me will be appreciated! http://www.chooseHMC.com:nurse:
