1. Any Hospital CM/LCSWs here? Got a load of questions about your job.

   nuberianne_RN replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Case Management

   What type of program are you enrolled in? I'll attempt to answer a couple of questions. Each insurance company and regions within the company are different. Some authorize a few days at a time while others approve per visit depending on the clinical...

2. Nurse Case Manager resume service

   nuberianne_RN replied to nuberianne_RN's topic in Case Management

   Thank you so much for your response. I would like to clarify my statement because I must have given the wrong impression. At the facility where I work utilization review nurses are considered to be non-clinical because we do not provide patient care...

3. Nurse Case Manager resume service

   nuberianne_RN posted a topic in Case Management

   Hello everyone.... Please recommend a nurse resume service. I understand that some view this as an unnecessary service. However, writing is not my strength and I need a resume and cover letter quickly. There is a section here on Allnurses for resume...

6. staff/supervisor undermining me

   nuberianne_RN replied to nettypo's topic in Disabilities

   There is not enough background info here for me. What is your position within this organization? Is the Case Manager in your chain of command (ie. your supervisor, your supervisor's supervisor)? Have you addressed your concerns with your supervisors?...

7. Executive Health Resources

   nuberianne_RN replied to Been there,done that's topic in Case Management

   How is the pay? Would you say it is comparable to what you were making in a hospital? Is there any room for advancement that you know of? Do you have your BSN? Anything else you want to share about the job?

8. What is the worst hardship/story you have ever seen/heard in your nursing career?

   nuberianne_RN replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

   I remember a story that I was not personally involved in as I was either in nursing school or just about to start. I saw this on tv, 20/20 or Dateline perhaps. A late 20/early 30 y.o. sought help for a pimple on his buttock while he was deployed over...

10. Driving an hour to school there and back

    nuberianne_RN replied to SarahStoddard14's topic in General Students

    I wasn't a single mom then, but I am a single mom now. That is why I am glad I became an RN then instead of waiting for all the stars to align to admit me into the program at the school in my city. Jobs are hard to come by in my area. I don't know ho...

11. Driving an hour to school there and back

    nuberianne_RN replied to SarahStoddard14's topic in General Students

    Many people who work in uber-urban cities drive for an hour or longer each way every day FOR YEARS. My school and clinical sites were all one hour a day. I drove it 4 or 5 days a week for 2 years back when gas was over $4/gal and I didn't have a job....

    nuberianne_RN replied to Ashley_Sam's topic in General Students

    I am not a fan of anonymous posters who are quick to chime in and say dump him/her when someone comes on a board to ask for advice about a personal situation going on in the relationship.....but..... the hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I rea...

13. Certification for untilization review/management nurses

    nuberianne_RN replied to nuberianne_RN's topic in Case Management

    My facility is small, and there aren't any real opportunities for advancement. They don't require or ask for certification for UR nurses. I want certification to make myself marketable in case I want to spread my wings in the future. I'll look into C...

14. Certification for untilization review/management nurses

    nuberianne_RN posted a topic in Case Management

    There are many certifications available for most specialties in nursing. I believe most hospitals and insurance companies use utilization review nurses. However, I can't seem to find a standardized certification for UR nurses. Why is that? We are h...

15. Single moms, daycare and day shift

    nuberianne_RN replied to HelenaHandbasket's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest contacting your local social services office for a list of home daycare providers. You have a good chance of negotiating earlier or later hours with them since they are already home. That is how I managed with two babies while on active dut...
