ROLL CALL - Case Managers!!!

EXCELLENT idea Las Vegas!!!

Linda, RN BSN, working on CCM exam this October. Started out in case management in Home Health, then did disease management for a managed medicaid co for a short time, now doing worker's comp CM, field-based. I am still figuring out if I like it. I really want to go independent in the future.

Next.....

OK, I stuck it. But, I always thought making a thread sticky meant having to review posts before they make it to the bb. I will have to check w Brian on how to do this exactly. I may take a day or so until I get it right.

Good idea Vegas, you're just full of them today!!

Alright I have been trying to get a job in several areas and case management is one area I cannot seem to break into. I worked BMT for 6.5 years, 11 years in home health and 3 in LTC. What is the secret to getting in?

Also how hard is the certification test for case managers? I got my BS in Feb and am working in my graduate program now.

I'm an RN, CPUR, taking the CCM exam next year. I manage the case management (WC), disability management, and UR group that deal specifically with self-insured employers. May go to the field to work next year, who knows?? We are part of a managed care organization (MCO).

I am a work comp field case manager, RN, BSN; have done this off and on since 1992; after I pass my CCM (thinking positive here) in October, am going to start working on my boss to send me to life care planning school
I love work comp, but am doing more catastrophic injury managment which I enjoy so much more than the usual repetitive motion and back injuries; am beginning to do work for attorneys some now, so I hope that may eventually lead to something.

New to case management this year. past experience 30 yrs of med-surg, ED, critical care, quality management, supervision.

Everyone please read the thread I posted early this morning on a case management job offer I got. I need to know if what was presented to me was the norm or not or if it is even a good offer.................

vegas and hotlips and every other case manager please help. I am calling the manager today with my response if I want the job or not........

I haven't been on the board for a while, but have enjoyed getting caught up.
This is me:
