Telehealth Nursing Jobs for LPNs and RNs: Your Friendly Insider’s Guide

So, Can LPNs and RNs Really Work Remotely?

If you’ve ever wished your commute was the six feet from your bedroom to your kitchen, you’re not alone. Thanks to rapid advances in digital health (and, let’s be honest, a tidal wave of burnout), both LPNs and RNs are making their move to telehealth—and the doors are truly opening wider every year.

But let’s cut to the chase: are there remote jobs for both LPNs and RNs? Is this just an RN club, or is there room for LPNs, too? Let’s break down what’s out there, and how to grab your spot in the tele-nursing revolution.

What’s on the Menu for RNs?

If you’re an RN, you’re basically the golden child of telehealth right now. Employers love hiring RNs to work remotely in:

• Telephone Triage: Using your Spidey Sense (and robust clinical training) to help patients navigate symptoms safely from home.
• Case Management: For those who love coordinating care plans and paperwork, this is high-demand and laptop-friendly.
• Utilization Review: Put your clinical hat (and eagle eye for detail) to work reviewing charts and claims for insurance companies.
• Health Coaching: If motivating and educating is your jam, many wellness platforms need RNs to empower patients with chronic illnesses or preventive care plans.

Examples of RN-friendly telehealth employers include UnitedHealth Group, Aetna, Anthem, and rising tech platforms like Robin Healthcare and Wheel—all regularly hiring, with flexible job boards and plenty of remote posts on our Telehealth Nurse Network job board.

But What About LPNs? (Aka: Don’t Count Yourself Out!)

If you’re an LPN wondering if this movement is for you, the answer is yes—with a few caveats. Some big companies want RNs only, but demand for LPNs is growing fast, especially since patients need a wide spectrum of support. LPNs often fill roles in:

• Remote Patient Monitoring: Educate patients on devices, review vital sign reports, and notify the RN or provider of changes.
• Care Coordination: Scheduling, following up on appointments, and helping patients stick to their care plans—it’s healthcare’s version of behind-the-scenes magic, but from your own home.
• Outreach & Support Roles: Think member support for insurance companies, med refill lines, or chronic care follow-ups. Growing companies like CareCentrix and Alorica are some LPN-friendly employers to watch.

Pro tip: When job searching, don’t skip over “clinical care advocate” or “member support nurse”—these can be hidden gems for LPNs. And yes, your bedside skills and people magic are still wildly valuable online!

Telehealth Nursing Job Search: Quick, Real-World Tips

• Keywords are Your Friends: Search for “telehealth LPN,” “telehealth RN,” “remote nurse,” and try specialties like “triage,” “case manager,” and “utilization review” to open more doors. Check our job board for real postings updated weekly.
• Stand Out with a Polished Resume: Remote hiring managers expect tech savvy and great communication skills. Use the AI Resume Builder to instantly update your resume for telehealth roles—it’s like having a nurse BFF who also happens to be a pro at phrasing.
• Network, Nurse-Style: Join our Telehealth Nurse Network community to swap advice, discover openings others don’t see on Indeed, and get the real scoop on which companies are LPN/RN-friendly.

Do You Need Special Certification?

Most companies want an active license in your state—but no fancy certifications (or alphabet soup) are usually required to start. That said, if you’re an RN and want to butter your toast on both sides, certs like the Triage Nurse Training Program or Case Management certification can look shiny. The secret sauce? Comfort with EHRs, phone assessments, and communicating clearly in writing.

Real-World Example: Meet Lindsey, LPN (Who Landed Remote!)

Lindsey, an LPN with six years in long-term care, landed a remote patient monitoring gig by focusing her resume on her teaching experience with new admissions and families. She also asked in nursing groups which companies really hired LPNs instead of just saying so online—a total game changer.
