I work two nights a week at a job I love. I recently got an offer for a fulltime telecommute (100% work from home, outbound calls, salaried) position. It APPEARS you can work whatever hours as long as workload gets done. With that flexibility, I was considering keeping my pt nt staff nurse job.I figured I could work a few weekends and just spread out my nights. Anyone else successfully work from home as well as at bedside? I like my staff rn job, plus I want to keep my skill. I figure if it gets to be too much I can go PRN. This telecommute jo sounds too good to be true. But its a reputable company with great reviews.

Anyone telecommute? Whats your schedule like? Thanks!

By all means keep that pt staff position. Do it for social and psychological reasons even if you don't need the income. You'll vegetate just doing calls to disembodied voices from home. Being a hermit is no fun. You need regular contact with patients and other nurses.

I work from home 100% already for 8 months and I have thought, too I will be missing the social contact. Guess what I do not miss it for a second, I love what I do with so much flexibility and freedom, no stress. I absolutely love it. Oh, if I want to socialize, I go for lunch with the RN's I work with.... at home... If you are a mom, or you have your friends it is nice to work in low stress environment...You will enjoy it...

I am certain I will love working from home. I did online school and woould work for hours and hours. Im an introvert too, so im good alone in a quiet house. My reasons fkr wanting to keep my pt night job is the skill. Ive finally got to the en point in bedside nursing where Im comfortable and I have a great skill set. Also, the company I work for is awesome and I have endless opportunities if the cm job doesnt pan out. I believe if it is as flexible as you describe, I may y be able to manage it. I hope! Thanks!

I am looking at telecommute nursing, where do you work? do you have any more information? what is the salary and hours like? Thanks

I guess I misstated in the previous post. I dint have an offer yet, but am being considered for a work at home care coordinator position. Lots of insurance companies offer telecommute positions. I have never had one so I cant give details. Per the job description its work at home 100%. Thats about all I know. Check out humana, bcbs, united Health care, and home health or hospice.

Does anyone have the name of any of the companies? I am looking for a flexible PT telework job, while my hubby finishes school, I currently work FT as a UR nurse for the VA, but i am trying to find a PT job I can do in the evenings for extra cash. I have 11 years of experience with a MSN.

Hi there- I thought I would jump onto this thread. I currently work for Kaiser Part time too and am looking for a telecommuting RN position. Any luck finding a position?
