15 Must-Ask Questions to Ace Your Telehealth Nursing Interview

Why the Right Questions Make You a Telehealth Stand-Out

We’ve all been there: the interviewer smiles and asks if you have any questions—cue awkward silence and a brain quieter than a sleeping baby. But here’s the thing: in telehealth, asking the right questions isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s how you show you’re not just ready for the job—you’re thinking like a remote nursing pro.

Let’s make sure your next telehealth interview ends with you walking away with answers, confidence, and—let’s hope—a job offer in your inbox.

Tech Stuff: Don’t Assume Anything

• What technology platforms will I use? (Zoom? Epic MyChart? Carrier pigeon?)
• Will I need my own hardware or is equipment provided? Pro tip: If you’ll need an industrial-strength headset to drown out barking dogs, ask.
• Who handles tech troubleshooting?—because "turn it off and on again" loses its charm by hour eight.

Workflow Wonders: How Does This Show Run?

• What does a typical day or shift look like? “Every day is different” is not an answer. Ask about patient volume, shift length, and break times.
• Are patient schedules back-to-back, or do I get buffers between calls?
• Who handles triage/administrative tasks? You want to know if you’ll be both nurse AND office admin.

Support Squad: You’re Not on an Island

• Will I have a clinical lead or support team available? (Because even Wonder Woman needs backup.)
• What resources or protocols are available for difficult cases?
• How is ongoing training handled in this role? Telehealth is always evolving—so should your skills.

Performance and Feedback: Know What Success Looks Like

• How is performance measured? (Certain call times? Patient outcomes? Number of times you say “please and thank you”?)
• What does success look like for someone in this role after three months, six months, or a year?
• How often will I receive feedback and support for improvement?

Culture, Connection, and Work-Life Boundaries

• How do you keep remote teams connected and included? That Slack channel with three sad emojis doesn’t count.
• What is your approach to work-life boundaries for remote staff? (Nurses deserve dinner breaks, too!)
• Are there opportunities for advancement in telehealth roles?

Don’t settle for “Any questions?” with a weak nod.

You’re not just interviewing for a telehealth job—you’re staking your claim in the future of nursing.
