Debra, as a newly credentialed member- seeking a remote position, I just wanted to say this was very helpful and Thank You! I have submitted my application for a few of the openings at Maxim (and I have forwarded a copy of my resume over to Mr. Carr.
You should have a separate office set up yes. It should have a door to keep it private and secure. Most companies will supply you with a computer. If they dont you will need a computer that you do not play games on or have personal info on. You do not need a separate entrance or separate bathroom or such. I have a desk in a separate small room. I have nice TV and music system and a comfy futon to sit on when I am tired . But it is one of the spare rooms that I do not use for any other purpose. You must keep the HIPPA issues in mind so you cannot set up in a common area of your house where family or visitors could observe your screen.
