Requirements for Remote Nurse Practitioners in Pennsylvania

All prospective remote nurse practitioners must first become registered nurses by completing the Pennsylvania Board of Nursing’s requirements. Once licensed as an RN, you can become a nurse practitioner after completing the following:

  • Education: Master’s degree, postmaster’s nurse practitioner program, or another program approved or considered equivalent by the Board of Nursing. Additionally, you must complete 3 hours of continuing education, approved by the Board of Nursing, in child abuse recognition and reporting.
  • Experience: 500 clinical hours. If providing care to multiple age groups or in multiple care settings, more clinical hours are required depending on the specialty. This requirement can be met through clinical hours obtained during your degree.
  • Certification: National certifications that reflect your chosen nursing specializations.
  • Fee: For applicants educated in-state there is a $100 fee. The fee is $140 fee for applicants educated outside Pennsylvania

Fieldwork, degrees, fees, and examinations may vary depending on the selected specialization, which include (but are not limited to): psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP), family nurse practitioner, and mental health nurse practitioner.

How To Become a Remote Nurse Practitioner in Pennsylvania

The first step to becoming a telehealth nurse practitioner in Pennsylvania is to make sure you have the proper credentials as outlined above. And the state is expected to become even more attractive to NPs over the years due to the aging population. As noted in one study of the state’s population, those aged 65 and older will likely account for 23 percent of the total population by 2040—up from 15 percent in 2010.

As a full-time nurse practitioner, you have many options ahead of you for work. And if you’re interested in opportunities as a remote nurse practitioner (also referred to as a telemedicine nurse practitioner) or work-at-home nurse practitioner, here’s what you should know about these roles first:

  • Work-from-home nurse practitioner or remote nurse practitioner: These licensed nurse practitioners can live outside the area of the healthcare provider’s institution in which they work. There may be some on-site work at a medical center, but you will mostly telecommute.
  • Additional training: The standard of patient care in telehealth is the same as in-person care, and there is no state-mandated training specific to virtual care. However, telemedicine companies often provide training to educate clinicians on how to use relevant technology and platforms, as well as best practices for good bedside manner.
  • Necessary documentation: When applying for remote jobs, be sure to update your resume and provide appropriate documentation showing your education and credentials.

Telehealth companies often post open positions on job posting sites like Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn, so this is a great place to start looking for virtual care opportunities. Wheel matches clinicians with virtual care opportunities and has a variety of positions available for NPs in Pennsylvania.
