Remote Rns typically hold a registered nurse license and work in hospitals or telehealth settings, providing comprehensive patient care. Remote Lpns, with a practical nurse license, often work in long-term care or home health. While both roles involve remote patient interaction, Rns usually handle more complex cases, whereas Lpns focus on basic patient care tasks.
To become a remote nurse, you need the same training, education, and qualifications that non-remote nurses possess, namely nursing licensure in your state. Some virtual RN roles may also require some period of on-site training to learn procedures. Since your duties include performing patient triage via telephone, webcam, or chat apps, you also need strong technical skills and a high-speed internet connection. Fluency in more than one language is a big plus, as is a strong track record of success in self-directed roles. Additionally, a variety of telehealth certifications are available, and these increase your appeal with potential employers.
