Working From Home??

Does anyone know of any nurse educators that work from home? I am the clinical education coordinator at a small rural hospital. We just had our first baby and I am considering leaving my position to go PRN and return to the large metro hospital and work 1-2 days a week in the ER where I used to work before. I was considering talking to our CNO to see if I would be allowed to complete some projects from home instead of in the office. Does anyone know of any hospitals that currently allow their education coordinators to do any work from home?

    Hmm - I think it would depend on the nature of the job. Clinical education is very hard to do from a distance because and important part of the job is maintaining awareness of what is actually happening on the patient care units. Checking on new hires, touching base with preceptors, observing staff using new equipment to see if the training was effective, etc. Instructional design & program development can be accomplished remotely - particularly if you are developing an eLearning module (been there, done that).

    It is not possible to 'work' at home and be the sole provider caring for an infant at the same time. Your boss knows this & would probably be very reluctant to essentially subsidize your childcare by paying you a salary to do it. A better approach would be to negotiate some sort of project-based pay.. e.g., 40 hours of pay for XYZ project. This would have an impact on your job status also - probably requiring you to change over to a 'contract' or PRN status which might impact your benefits.

    I have worked as a contract educator for LTCs and HH companies, but it did require frequent on-site activities in addition to the 'remote' work.
