I let my CCM certification expire like an idiot and am retaking in a week. For those who have tested this year, is there much on the Affordable Care Act on the exam? Am hoping not as that just means one more thing I will need to review Thanks!
I believe you are mistaking a positive for a negative. I takes a special person to work with burn patients, people in terrible pain whose lives have been changed forever. I worked PICU for 2 years and it just about killed me...I wasn't strong enough....
MBarn, After sending out another round of resumes/applications, I got a job offer as a medical reviewer for Medicare on Friday! I was not working, by choice, for 3 years and half-heartedly looking until a year ago.It has taken a solid year of job sea...
Following a 5 year break from CM (W/C anf Life care planning), I have recently decided to return to work. Every single resume/application I have submitted has been a bust...no one wants me or wants to talk @ my qualifications! Granted, I allowed my C...

I am a BSN RN and have never seen employers care whether or not an RN has a diploma, ASN or BSN, at least for entry-level staff nurse positions. Is this a new trend? Aren't there some LPN to RN (ASN) programs that work somewhat like a MSN-bridge pro...
You will need your MSN before becoming a psych NP; since you have your A.S. in Nursing and your BS in Psychology, you might just need to look at a "Bridge" program in which you essentially skip getting your BSN and go straight into a MSN program. I k...
i am in the process of trying to work for a national company doing hedis reviews. the pre-employment screening/vetting process is brutal and extremely invasive in my opinion! before my interview, they had already verified my nursing license. the pap...
