1. Work from Home Case Management

   Indeed has been my best friend in my search. "Remote registered nurse" in your state. That way your license is good.

2. Work from Home Case Management

   VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

   I did ask her to explain the culture shock. She said the majority of short-term workers left due to feeling "isolated," not "directly caring for patients," and the "immense learning curve." As far as I see it, it's still patient care, I enjoy my hus...

3. Work from Home Case Management

   VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the insight! Did you specifically work for an insurance company? I was told that this was salary, and that sometimes I'd have to work evenings (12-8p) so they seem a little strict about hours. I should have asked, "Will I be able to walk a...

4. Work from Home Case Management

   VioletaRockos posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey all! So I'm considering a career change. I've been a floor nurse for quite a while, and recently suffered a foot injury that doesn't seem to be healing super well. I'm getting antsy not working, so I've been applying to insurance jobs in the hop...

   Time for you to grow a thicker skin, honey. You're going to be called a lot worse in your career. Just don't let it bother you and move on.

   VioletaRockos replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Relations

   Weekly reports are a standard thing? Yeah, I need to get out of my hospital.

   VioletaRockos replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Relations

   Alright. I have to say something. Because I was a preceptor a year in to my first job as a new nurse. I hope you see this comment out of the hundred or so you probably already have here, but you probably won't, so here it goes anyway. You sound like ...

8. Think I'll be Placed in Charge...

   VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in Relations

   That's how I feel! I work with nurses with 10-30 years experience, and feel like they should be oriented first (yes, some of them haven't). And here I am with my two, not knowing certain terms/diagnoses off the top of my head... Not knowing exactly w...

9. Think I'll be Placed in Charge...

   VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in Relations

   Oh God, so much things to know! This is what gets me scared. I need a good system. Of knows and not so important information, because I know I can't remember everything. Thank you!

10. Think I'll be Placed in Charge...

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in Relations

    We do have certain doctors who only ask for the nurse taking care of the patient. And other nurses can make calls, but since each nurse is also responsible for all their baths, walks, med passing, OR/discharge paperwork, going to the charge nurse and...

11. Think I'll be Placed in Charge...

    VioletaRockos posted a topic in Relations

    Hello all! I wanted some feedback on something... In my very very short 2 year experience as an RN, I don't typically see charge nurses in hospitals (out of all the hospitals I did clinicals at and where I worked as a nursing assistance for 2 years d...

12. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    When I first applied for jobs, I swear I did a 100+ applications just in PA and only had about 5 reply back, so I think that's a country wide thing since companies are so reluctant to hire. So I guess I'm prepared for that. We have a nurse that somet...

13. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    Having patient mandated ratios sounds like a fantastic thing. I'll have to look into whether or not I could get a job with one year of experience, though. Is that actually a thing? Good luck in Missouri! I'm sure you'll be fine =)

14. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea what a break nurse is. Is that just someone who fills in for the charge when they're on break...? I've heard fantastic things about the mandated ratios, but I'm also being told I might not get a job in San Francisco based on my "only o...

15. East Coast vs West Coast Nursing

    VioletaRockos replied to VioletaRockos's topic in General Nursing

    Kinda seems like it's up in the air. I am very aware that even though California nurses get paid a lot more, the cost of living over there is insane. The job he's currently looking at is in Sacramento (dunno if that really makes a difference.) I've w...
