Can nurses work from home?

Yes, nurses can work from home. Nurses provide patient care, which includes a number of different duties. Remote nurse work focuses on completing administrative tasks. However, there are some tasks that are impossible, or extremely difficult, for nurses to complete when working remotely.

Nurses often greet guests, perform vital tests, and explore treatment options with patients. Most of these can be performed virtually, but some things, like vital tests, are difficult to do from home. However, remote nurses can help with scheduling these important duties for a nurse that is working in office. Typically, a nurse needs in-office support to be able to work from home.
