How to Become a Remote Nurse Practitioner in Indiana

As a certified nurse practitioner in Indiana, there are numerous full-time and part-time remote work opportunities available to you. These high-quality roles are available in different parts of the state, but particularly the capital of Indianapolis.

As you pursue these work-from-home nurse practitioner jobs (also referred to as telemedicine and telehealth nurse practitioners), keep the following information in mind:

  • Work-from-home nurse practitioner or remote nurse practitioner: When you work remotely, you are able to live outside of the area of the hiring healthcare facilities and medical centers. Through telecommuting, you can provide patient counseling, collaborate with other medical professionals and care teams, and utilize your expertise without physically being in the workspace. However, some employers may require you to complete some on-site work and patient care, so keep an eye out for that when applying.

  • Additional training: Your employer may require you to complete in-service and other facility-specific training. All healthcare providers have various systems and protocols, so training will often focus on such subjects. You may also receive virtual care training to help with bedside manner.

  • Necessary documentation: It’s always important to keep your licenses and various certifications handy so you can produce them when needed.

Telehealth companies often utilize job posting sites such as Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn to post open positions. These are all great places to start looking for virtual care opportunities. Wheel matches clinicians with virtual care opportunities, including a variety of positions for NPs in Indiana.

Indiana Nurse Practitioner FAQs

How can I earn an Indiana nursing practitioner license?

You must already hold an IN-registered RN license or an RN license that's part of a multi-state licensure agreement. You'll also need either a master's-level nursing degree or national NP certification to qualify for an Indiana NP license. However, a bachelor's-level degree is sufficient if you already have national certification.

Can a nurse practitioner have their own practice in Indiana? Is Indiana among them?

An NP cannot run their own practice in Indiana, according to the state legislature. An NP must operate in close collaboration with a physician as set out by a written agreement. This agreement dictates the type of collaboration to be followed, as well as how often prescribing practices are monitored and reviewed. You can learn more in our clinician FAQs.

In what states can NPs practice independently?

NPs may only practice independently in full-practice-authority states. Indiana is a reduced-practice-authority state, meaning that NPs have a certain amount of autonomy within a framework established by a supervising physician. However, NPs are only allowed to practice within the confines of this collaboration.

Are there part-time NP remote jobs in Indiana?

There are part-time NP remote jobs avaialble in Indiana, as well as full-time roles. Keep in mind that many health care employers require that NPs put in a certain amount of in-person hours per week, but they will usually state these in their job descriptions. If you're looking for a role, Wheel specializes in connecting remote NPs with job openings.

What can nurse practitioners do remotely in Indiana?

The options for NPs in Indiana extend beyond primary care and mental health work. NPs can also work in a supporting capacity via patient triage, home care monitoring, and case management. Remote COVID tracing has become an important part of the NP remit, and health education, school nursing, and legal consultation for insurers can also be performed remotely.

How to become a nurse practitioner in Indiana?

In addition to earning the proper credentials, you will need to pay a license fee of $50, and you also need to apply for an Indiana controlled substance registration to administer and dispense controlled substances.
