You mean you don't want to leave your home?

I work from home 80% of the time but I'm not in my home the entire time, home health. 1 day a week I do have to go into the office for a few hours.

I've worked from home doing utilization review but had to leave the house daily for a couple of hours to be onsite at the medical center I covered. If it weren't for juggling kids at home, it was the easiest job I've ever had.

A lot of the jobs I'm finding claim they are telecommuting jobs, but when I go to apply, they say they require travel 30% of the time -- and they are in areas far from me (different states), so obviously not an actual option.

I work from home 100% of the time and I do not like it. You can be worked like a dog, and still not appreciated working from home, being salary they require so much from us. This is in the insurance industry and I am so unhappy. So many of our nurses are resigning because of the demands being placed on them. Some companies are so metrics driven, you are audited 3 times a month, on top of weekly audits and and phone audits. Its just too much. I used to like it in the beginning, but not anymore. I prefer to not say where I work but if they actually stopped threatening the nurses by saying if your numbers don't come up or if the company STAR ratings don't come up the whole department may lose their jobs. My first year there; I did witness "restructuring" as they call it--where many people lost their jobs. It pays extremely well, but I am completely dissatisfied. Alot of us are waking up at 3am to finish our documentation to keep up. Now we are being asked to work on our days off and on the weekends--which equals no days off. Maybe not all work at home positions are like this, but where I am certainly is. Its awful:madface:

Do you do chart reviews? What is your official job title?
