Case Management/Utilization Review

[Besito]

Hi. I live in Sacramento, California and I have been an RN for over 24 years. Can someone please tell me how I can get a Case Management, Utilization Review or Discharge Planning job if I don't have experience in those areas? I have been an RN for over 24 years, but my experience is in OB/GYN and Pediatrics. I would apperciate any help I can get.

Thank You..........

Our hospital has a need for pediatric case managers inpatient. when I hired in, I wouldn't go with peds, it is not my thing. I wouldn't do UM, they never deal with patients; keep looking on hospital job lists and look for Case Management; you will find one eventually. Your experience is excellent.
