Nursing is a wonderful profession but it is also hard work, can be physically and emotionally demanding as well as mentally taxing.
Working from home as a nurse may be no less stressful or mentally taxing, however, it has many attractive benefits. Namely:no commute, no long hours away from your family, and, since you can expect to be working telephonically, it will be less physically demanding as well.
Carenet is a company based out of San Antonio, TX, that hires qualified registered nurses to work out of their homes in the area of telephone triage.

Job description
Carenet
is a company that offers health care services to its clients which are a
mix of insurance companies, other medical providers, hospitals and
employers.
Basically, for their at-home division, this company is a medical call center that runs via registered nurses who work from home.
As
a telephone triage nurse working for the company, you would be considered a Care
Advisor. Your job would include various duties such as :
Providing telephone triage
Interacting with Members/ Insurance Companies/ Hospitals
Providing Health Care support.
CareNet Nurses are available 24 hours a day, so you may be required to work overnight shifts and/or weekends.
My Take?
I
hear from many nurses who are tired of the rat race and wish to bring in a good income but also wish to avoid the long hours away from their
families that are usually part and parcel of being a nurse.
Working for a company like this and avoiding a commute, as well as doing
away with 12 hour shifts away from your family seems like a pretty
great deal.
When you add in that you make approximately $25
an hour and are eligible for benefits such as medical, dental vision,
life insurance 401k as well as paid time off and holidays, the job becomes even more desirable.
Remember
that working from home, you avoid many of the costs of working outside
of the home, such as paying for gas, lunches out, uniforms and good
walking shoes (That is a necessity as a nurse!). That
$25 per hour can go a long way when you subtract those expenses! The only
thing you might have to invest in besides a good headset is a comfy
office chair!
