   I'm not familiar with the program you referenced... I did hit the link, and checked it ouot.. Most of the places are going to want CCM for what you are doing, I would suspect. Don't get me wrong, I imagine the course material is very relevant, and...

4. Nurse CM Reality Check

   CaseManager1947 replied to Raisin08's topic in Case Management

   Again... I think 1800 people is too many for one person to effectively manage... especially high risk, problem prone folks that you describe... IMO, but as I said, I don't manage this kind of case load... I cry when I get to 30 people in the acute s...

5. Nurse CM Reality Check

   CaseManager1947 replied to Raisin08's topic in Case Management

   Well.... I don't have your job, but I do case management. I can't imagine trying to case manage 1800 souls. You don't say if this is disease specific or what, but MAN, that sounds like a daunting proposition. A little more info may be helpful to some...

   CaseManager1947 replied to RNinFL's topic in Case Management

   First of all... sorry nobody has replied yet to your query... as for me, I'm often not home early enough to get to my 'puter to login. I work in Hospital based Case Management for a large tertiary health system in the midwest. I do the Level 1 and 2 ...

7. Case Managers--I need your advice please

   CaseManager1947 replied to RNinFL's topic in Case Management

   I "lucked" into my position, and sometimes that is the way people get started. Sometimes you have to wait for somebody to move so a vacancy opens. Just depends... I see you are in Fla... I recommend looking on various CM sites... many have positions ...

8. Why does this seem impossible?

   CaseManager1947 replied to bambi227's topic in Case Management

   You have great credentials for role. I'm curious... why not in hospital setting. That is where I work; the pay is great, we are salaried, and have few on call + no travel. I recommend you try the different CM web sites, many of them have places to l...

   I looked it over, and I thought it was very creative and a great idea... I think you should continue developing this... Just be careful, though, that you don't gi ve too much info away... you will lose the rights to it, if someone steals your idea, a...

    The system where I work, HR sends the interview, and the manager carries it out. does the actual meeting with prospective employee... I dunno.... hard to read people sometimes

12. pyxis dilemma

    CaseManager1947 replied to cptluciejensen's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a pyxis problem... it is a drug diversion problem. And it is YOUR problem too, if you don't identify it as such to your management team.

13. Certified Life Planner

    CaseManager1947 replied to CaseManager1947's topic in Legal

    No... what I am referring to is a person ( RN's are being trained) to do life planning for say someone with a catastrophic injury, cord injury say or TBI), and then with tools, training, software Iguess, and algorithims design a life plan... cost of ...

14. Certified Life Planner

    CaseManager1947 posted a topic in Legal

    I have somewhat abandoned my quest for LNC, due in large part to the huge financial outlay it requires, and I think my community is probably not large enough to support that role... not enough business. I also see a career path of Certified Life Plan...
