Utilization/Precert Nurses

I am interviewing for a Precert job today w/ a big insurance company, I am excited but nervous, I really want to get away from the bedside. I too think it would take awhile to get used to the slower pace, inpatient is just dang crazy any more!!!

I worked UM for a hospital for over 5 years and really enjoyed most aspects. It encompassed medicare and commercial insurances for precert, continued stay and D/C planning. I learned a lot covering different areas of the hospital including interviewing patients, families, working with social service, home health, and talking to doctors. I didn't miss direct patient care possibly due to the interview process and really enjoyed the hours. It was very nice to go home and not be dog-tired.

thanks so much, had my first interview to day second interview on Wednesday, I think it would be so fun and give me a break from the bedside.
