Working as a Telemedicine Nurse Practitioner During COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020

[@chinyereonyenwe9107]

Hi Ahmed, do you have to pick your own days/hrs to work, like say you want to work weekends this week then weekdays next week. Or does the telemedicine company creates a schedule and you have to stick with it?

[@ahmed_np]

It depends on the company. Some are very flexible and some want you to work regular hours.

Can you be my doc please?

[@teamkaskas]

Hi Ahmed can you work from abroad or anywhere in the world if you want to? since your job is remote.

[@ahmed_np]

Depends on the job. Some require you to be in a specific US state

[@crystalgagner1893]

What specialty do you have to be in to work as a Telemedicine NP?

[@ahmed_np]

There are many different specialties... Psych, family, and urgent care to just name a few. I'd say being a FNP or PMHNP would give you the most telemed opportunities.

Hi Ahmed, can I work telemed immediately after completing my FNP program or the companies require min years of experience?

[@ahmed_np]

You can buy it's tougher. A lot of places want to see at least 1 year experience

[@sammycornish6389]

@@ahmed_np Thank you so much for all the info

[@norka6560]

What do I need to have a telemedicine business as a nurse practitioner, what about insurance?

[@ahmed_np]

Not sure. Ask an attorney that has experience in this field

[@sammycornish6389]

Hi Ahmed, do you mind mentioning how much this telemedicine pays to FNPs? Is it hourly or per patient or salary ?

[@ahmed_np]

Depends on the company. But hourly is usually between 60-70 per hour for FNPs
