Greetings fellow Nurses,
I recently found this site and have been enjoying the blogs.
I work for a company that utilizes telephonic nursing (Welcome to Your Support Nurse) and would love to hear from other nurses that also do telephonic nursing or those that have utilized those services. Telephonic nursing has been popular in Europe for quite a while and now becoming a great means of offering assistance to those in need. What are your thoughts about nursing licensure as we interact with those clients/patients in different states other than which you hold your license? Do you consider yourself a consultant utilizing your nursing background thus leaving out the license issue? How does the military handle nursing licensure when a nurse from NY is stationed in Italy? I presume there is a Federal-type of licensure covering this nurse. Is that feasible for tele-nursing- a blanket coverage? I welcome and appreciate ideas and comments!

Scarey thought that has been approached so many times by any ER nurse...and most have learned to forward the questions to someone who is parroting by protocol because of the legalities...interesting enough is there is now a training and certification for the Tele RN through ANCC.
