Looking for remote or telehealth nurse practitioner jobs? Here’s exactly how to use LinkedIn step-by-step to find, apply, and connect with telemedicine employers faster.
If you’re serious about landing a telemedicine nurse practitioner job, LinkedIn should absolutely be part of your strategy.
Not optional. Not “nice to have.”
Essential.
When used intentionally, LinkedIn becomes more than a profile — it turns into a quiet job-lead machine working for you behind the scenes.
But before we dive into job alerts, recruiters, and company stalking (the professional kind 😉), there’s one non-negotiable first step:
Your profile needs to exist — and it needs to be optimized for telemedicine.
If you don’t have a LinkedIn yet, or your profile still screams “bedside RN 2012,” pause here and fix that first.

Already dialed in and ready to roll?
Perfect. Let’s get into the exact steps I personally use to find remote, virtual, and work-from-home NP roles.
WHY LINKEDIN SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR TELEMEDICINE JOB SEARCH
Over the past few years, LinkedIn has quietly become one of the most powerful places to land telemedicine nurse practitioner jobs.
Recruiters actively search there for candidates. Telehealth companies post openings there first. And many remote nurse practitioner and virtual care NP roles never even make it to traditional job boards.
It’s part job board, part networking hub, and part visibility engine all in one.
When your profile is optimized and you’re checking in consistently — setting alerts, searching roles, and connecting with people — you’re not just applying blindly… you’re putting yourself directly in front of the right opportunities.
Whether you’re licensed in one state or multiple states, LinkedIn makes it easier to find telemedicine opportunities across the country.
If remote work is your goal, LinkedIn shouldn’t be an afterthought — it should be part of your weekly routine.
On LinkedIn, you can:
Set job alerts for telemedicine and remote NP roles
See who in your network already works in telehealth
Research companies before applying
Message recruiters and hiring managers directly
With thousands of telehealth nurse practitioner jobs posted at any given time, it’s honestly a goldmine if you know how to use it strategically.
HOW DO YOU SEARCH FOR TELEMEDICINE NP JOBS ON LINKEDIN?
Before you overcomplicate anything, start with the simplest step:
just run a basic job search.
Go straight to LinkedIn and type in keywords like:
Telemedicine Nurse Practitioner
Remote NP
Telehealth NP
Virtual Nurse Practitioner
Remote Nurse Practitioner
Then click the Jobs filter so you’re only seeing job listings — not posts or people.
This gives you a quick snapshot of who’s hiring, what roles are out there, and what types of experience companies are looking for.
PRO TIP
Don’t forget to change the location filter from “United States” to Remote.
If you leave it on “United States,” LinkedIn will flood you with on-site or hybrid roles. Switching to Remote keeps your results focused on true work-from-home and telehealth opportunities.
HOW DO JOB ALERTS HELP YOU FIND REMOTE NP ROLES FASTER?
Once you’ve run a search you like, don’t stop there — turn on job alerts.
LinkedIn lets you save that search and automatically email you whenever a new role is posted.
So instead of constantly logging in and checking, LinkedIn does the monitoring for you.
Every time a telemedicine, telehealth, or remote NP job matches your keywords, you’ll get notified — which means you can apply early (and early applicants almost always have the advantage).
Think of it like building a tiny job-hunting assistant that works in the background while you’re living your life.
Set up a few variations and let them run all week.
CHECK COMPANY PAGES AND EMPLOYEE CONNECTIONS
Most NPs stop at the job listing and hit “Apply.”
But if you really want to stand out, this is where you go a level deeper.
When a telemedicine company catches your eye, don’t just apply and move on — do a little recon.
Visit their company page.Read their About section. Scroll their recent posts to see what matters to them. Click the People tab and see who actually works there.
You might be surprised how often you find:
former coworkers
classmates
second-degree connections
other NPs already working remotely
And that’s where the magic happens.
If you recognize someone, reach out. Ask what the culture is like or if they have tips for applying. Sometimes it turns into a referral. Sometimes it’s just helpful insight.
Either way, you’re no longer a random applicant — you’re a real person with a connection.
And warm connections will almost always open doors that a cold “Easy Apply” button simply can’t.
USE YOUR EXISTING NETWORK
One of the most overlooked strategies on LinkedIn is simply using the network you already have.
Chances are, you’re more connected to telemedicine than you think.
Former coworkers, classmates, or colleagues may already be working remotely or in virtual care — you just haven’t noticed yet.
Search your connections using terms like telemedicine, telehealth, or remote NP.
If someone works at a company you’re interested in, start a conversation.
You don’t need to ask for a job.
Just say something simple like: “Hey! I saw you’re working at XYZ and I’m moving into telemedicine too — I’d love to hear how you like it there.”
Conversations lead to insight.
Insight leads to referrals.
Referrals lead to jobs.
Opportunities often come from relationships — not just applications.
MESSAGE RECRUITERS AND HIRING MANAGERS DIRECTLY
Once you’ve done the groundwork, this is your next-level move.
If a job is posted by a recruiter or hiring manager on LinkedIn, don’t be shy — a short, professional message can absolutely help you stand out.
Reach out when:
A recruiter is listed on the posting
Someone regularly posts telemedicine roles
You see a talent acquisition manager for a company you love
Keep it short, confident, and clear:
“Hi [Name], I saw your posting for the [Telemedicine NP Role] and I’m very interested. I’m a board-certified NP with experience in telehealth and [your specialty]. I applied and wanted to briefly introduce myself here as well. I’d love to be considered. Thank you!”
No novel. No oversharing. Just a quick, professional introduction that puts your name on their radar.
BONUS TIP: BOOKMARK TELEMEDICINE CAREER PAGES AND CHECK WEEKLY
This strategy is so underrated — and honestly, it’s exactly how many NPs quietly land telemedicine roles.
When you find a company you genuinely believe in, don’t just follow them and hope you catch a post.
Go straight to their Careers page and bookmark it.
I’ve personally done this.
There was a company whose mission I loved, so I checked their careers page every week. The day they posted an NP role, I applied immediately… and I ended up getting the job.
No guarantees, of course — but being early and intentional gives you a huge edge compared to competing with 150 applicants later.
