Starting November 2nd, I will officially be employed as a telehealth nurse. I'm glad to be part of a career that offers so many diverse options. I'm excited to get to continue to pursue my passion even from the confines of bedrest. Mostly, I'm relieved to be able to ease the burden that is that loss of my previous salary.
They sent me a packet to give me an idea of what a day looks like for a 'Nurse Advice Line' employee...and they made the hilarious and unfortunate decision to make the headline in all caps while also abbreviating things:
A NAL OVERVIEW.
Oh. Um. Well, we need the money.
Seriously, though, I'm so pleased to have this new position and I'm looking forward to expanding my scope of practice by learning a new facet to caring for my community. By the time it's all said and done, I'll be licensed in each of the 50 states and able to help patients on a national level! That prospect is extremely appealing to me and I'm beyond blessed to get the opportunity to use my skills to the benefit of such a large group.
There is one small catch which remains entirely out of my control. The training is 6 weeks long and requires 100% attendance or will result in loss of the position. That puts me training almost right up to my daughter's due date. Only time will tell how that turns out. Here's to the unknown future. Cheers.
