For anyone considering a remote - work from home position that does not require direct patient care feel free to message me or ask me questions here.
For a VERY long time I have wanted out of direct patient care in any form, away from the 12+ hr shifts and all that goes along with it.
The M-F positions were better but still not what I wanted - which was 100% remote, working from home. Took me some time but I finally landed a position and could not be happier. Unless something major happens I will stay in this position for years. Which is saying a lot since I job hopped frequently before.
Working remote is not for nurses who like the stress of the hospital, it's not for nurses who like the celebrating holidays, birthdays, free meals that come with working in an MD office or being BFFs with some of the people at the office, it is not for nurses who don't want to work but just get paid.
It is for nurses who are mature, trustworthy and want flexibility, are proactive without being micromanaged. Yes, there are benefits like health and PTO.
Being a more introverted nurse this position works well for me in that my interaction w/patients and families is via email/text or telephone - same with my coworkers - so it a breeze for me.
Not having to work the 12+ hr shifts, juggling multiple patients, dealing w/doctors, families, mountains of paperwork and other disciplines is a huge plus. I am not knocking working in the hospital or an MD office or anywhere else, but what I am saying is for those that none of that seems to fit, there is a place for you. I found it and it's wonderful.
For the first time in MANY years I am actually excited again about being a nurse and see a future w/my employer. I didn't expect this opportunity but I am grateful for it beyond words.
This sounds like my dream job, but I don't personally know anyone who works at a company like this. Do you have any tips on how I could still land a position?

If you scroll though this thread you will see a list of companies I've suggested to look for positions similar to this as well as what is often required - though each position will require different education/experience/skill set and should be listed in the job description.
