Host Kaile Garcia welcomes Ashley Harris, a family nurse practitioner and single mom in South Carolina, to discuss tips for working from home while parenting.
Ashley shares her unexpected pregnancy after a pituitary adenoma diagnosis, postpartum depression, and the challenge of ER shifts before transitioning during COVID to telehealth, which became long-term.
She outlines remote opportunities in nursing and advanced practice, including virtual urgent care, telephone triage, case management, utilization review, and documentation review.
They discuss work-from-home pros like flexibility and everyday comforts, and cons like blurred boundaries, household distractions, and others assuming availability, emphasizing the value of a separate workspace.
Ashley offers strategies for building childcare support through family, teens, trusted centers, and parent friendships, and advises being honest with employers, setting realistic expectations, and prioritizing well-being. Ashley can be found on Instagram at @ashleysophia_np.
