I have worked in multiple capacities as an RN. I'm currently a Hospice Case Manager and absolutely love it, but feel I need a break from the emotional stress of Hospice. I would stay on PRN bc I love Hospice and my company, but need to take care of my emotional health.
I have been recruited for a remote RNCM role through BCBS. I have not interviewed or accepted the position. When I reached out to a previous co-worker, she said to "be careful" because she's heard stories of these positions monitoring the nurse via camera during working hours.
I don't want to waste time stating how self disciplined I am, that I have worked remotely before nursing, love caring for patients, have high integrity. But... I'm not comfortable with a company being able to monitor me 8 hours/day in my home. I completely get being prompt and responsive/available during scheduled hours... it just feels icky having someone watching me; bit to mention HIPAA concerns.
This would never have crossed my mind. The only time I was monitored via video was during exams getting my BSN years ago. Hoping someone has some insight, thank you in advance. Sending love to all my fellow nurses.
