A nurse practitioner, or NP, is a step above a registered nurse, or RN. As a remote nurse practitioner, you provide telemedicine services over the phone or internet to your clients to help them with their treatment plan and other concerns that they have. Your responsibilities include working to consult with your patient and the members of their healthcare team, working on a new diagnosis when patients have a new chief complaint, and creating a care plan for patients. Other duties include writing prescriptions based on patient needs, diagnosing medical conditions, educating patients on their diagnoses and the treatments they are using, examining patient’s medical history, charting all contact with your patients, and aiding patients with the necessary lifestyle changes to enhance their health.
