Hospice Triage RN Career - Telehealth Nursing Growth in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
This role offers a genuinely differentiated career path for RNs burned out by bedside nursing. IntellaTriage's model — purely telephone-based triage in a remote setting — develops a specific, high-demand skill set.
Skills you will build:
- Rapid clinical decision-making under time pressure (5–8 calls/hour)
- Telehealth and telephonic triage proficiency — a growing area of nursing demand
- Hospice and palliative care expertise, a niche with significant workforce shortages
- EMR documentation speed and accuracy in a high-volume environment
Compensation context: At $25–$28/hour, this sits slightly below the national median RN hourly rate (~$39/hour per BLS 2024 data), but the role is part-time and comes with significantly lower physical and emotional demands than bedside care. Overnight and weekend differentials (+$1/hour) add modest upside. Full-time nurses gain access to medical/dental/vision and 401(k), which improves total compensation meaningfully.
Green flags:
- Company has operated since 2008 — stable, not a startup experiment
- 3 weeks of paid remote training signals genuine investment in onboarding
- Nurse recognition culture (Nurse of the Year program) suggests staff appreciation
- Shorter shifts explicitly designed to reduce burnout
Watch for: The call volume ceiling (8 calls/hour on weekends) is demanding for a triage nurse working solo. This role suits experienced hospice RNs who want flexibility, not new grads seeking clinical development breadth.
