What does a remote nurse do?

A remote nurse is often referred to as a telehealth nurse. Telehealth and telemedicine utilize technology to allow RNs and other medical professionals to deliver care from a remote location. Remote nurses use things like web cameras, the Internet, and telephones to perform duties and deliver medical care from a distance. As a remote nurse, your responsibilities include using technology to help triage patients who cannot be reached immediately, such as victims of natural disasters. You also address patients who are receiving routine health care, such as pre- and post-surgical care and general best practices.
