   UHC has a hiring freeze but they do need pediatric case managers. They are out of Lisle Il near Chicago. Not sure if you can work from home but I know someone doing Perinatal care from home.

   swincha replied to onegoodnerve's topic in Missouri

   Hi, I know many nurses who use to work at AH. They said it was like a nurse sweatshop where you literally only had 3 minutes to go to the bathroom. Phone calls were timed. By the time the caller got their meds to review the time was up. Many of thes...
