Questions about RemoteNurse

RemoteNurse is practice for the NCLEX® and for remote medical VA work across 16 healthcare roles. NCSBN sets the passing standard, and no prep tool can honestly promise a pass.

Does RemoteNurse prepare me for the NCLEX?

Yes. RemoteNurse has 2,600 NCLEX-style practice questions across 12 RemoteNurse formats and 4 fixed 100-question practice forms. The 2026 RN exam is variable-length CAT; RemoteNurse forms are fixed exercises, and its adaptive practice uses its own selection and stopping rules.

What is a medical virtual assistant?

A medical virtual assistant works remotely for a clinic, hospital, or insurer on the administrative and clinical-support side of healthcare: prior authorization, eligibility and benefits, billing and claims, documentation review, patient access and scheduling, records requests, and denials follow-up.

Which roles does RemoteNurse cover?

RemoteNurse covers 16 remote healthcare roles, including prior authorization and eligibility, utilization review, medical billing and revenue cycle, denials and appeals, credentialing and provider enrollment, patient access and scheduling, clinical documentation review, medical records and release of information, care and referral coordination, remote patient monitoring and chronic care management, HEDIS and care-gap support, behavioral-health practice support, telehealth operations, medication authorization, coding fundamentals, and general administrative assistant work.

Do I need to be a nurse?

No. Most of the roles we cover do not require a nursing license, and several do not require any clinical background. Utilization review is the main exception: it generally requires a US registered-nurse license. Each role page states plainly whether a license is needed.

Is this only for nurses in the Philippines?

No. It works the same from anywhere, including the Philippines, Nigeria, Kenya, India and Latin America. The material suits nurses and healthcare BPO staff moving into medical VA work, and US bedside nurses moving off the floor into review roles. Pay bands and license requirements are stated separately for each.

Are these real patient records?

No. Every case is fictional. RemoteNurse does not use live patient records and holds no protected health information.

Is there a certificate?

Learners on the free Foundations path who complete the twelve modules and meet the published evidence gates may issue a provider-issued assessed training certificate with a public verification link. Plus is optional AI help, not a certificate gate.

How much does it cost?

Free gives you every course lesson, every scored practice case, 25 NCLEX practice questions, and fixed difficulty-adaptive sessions of 25, 50, or 75 questions from a separate 120-question pool, plus practice calls, interview rehearsals, the resume builder, the PDF signer, the job board, job matching, the application tracker and the agency desks. RemoteNurse Plus is $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year, or ₱499 a month or ₱2,990 a year in the Philippines, and adds all 2,600 questions, all 4 readiness exams, full reviewers, every AI feature and the full PDF editor.

If I subscribe on the website, does the iPhone app unlock?

The iPhone app, Medical VA & NCLEX RemoteNurse, is on the App Store. One login covers both: pay on remotenurse.org or in the app, and the other opens on the same account. You will not buy it twice.

Who writes the score?

A fixed set of rules we call the Case Judge scores every practice case, so the same work always gets the same score. AI can explain a score afterwards, but it never sets one.

How do I become a remote utilization review nurse?

Most remote utilization-review roles want an active US RN license and acute-care experience. RemoteNurse teaches the chart review process on made-up cases and is clear about the license requirement. It does not replace clinical experience or place you with an employer. Read the step-by-step guide at /guides/become-remote-utilization-review-nurse.

What is prior authorization work?

Prior authorization decides whether a requested service needs payer approval, gathers the supporting evidence, submits the request, and works the decision clock. It is one of the 16 roles RemoteNurse trains you for, with scored practice cases. See /roles/prior-auth and /guides/what-does-a-prior-authorization-nurse-do.
