2. Transition from insurance CM/UR to hospital CM/UR possible?

   jsnbsn replied to PlayLikeAGirl's topic in Case Management

   If you think of Hospital CM and Insurance CM as mirror-images of each other, you may find transitioning easier. Both CM's are trying to save dollars for their employer -- but in different ways. But the most important thing for ANY health-care provide...

   jsnbsn replied to Brwnidbeauty's topic in Case Management

   PRIME is a company that offers MANY free CEU courses. I believe it has to do with their own licensing/certification needs of products. So -- their need translates into free CEU opportunities for nurses, case managers, and other health care profession...

   jsnbsn replied to Brwnidbeauty's topic in Case Management

   If you are a Nurse Case Manager, there are courses available that offer Nursing CEU's AND CCM CEU's in a single course!! I only know of Anderson CE courses which do this routinely. As an RN, I have timed the taking of my online RN exams, to ensure th...

6. UWorld Self Assesment, is UWorld enough?

   jsnbsn replied to napswithcats's topic in NCLEX

   Dear Nursing2019BSN, BSN, RN: If you feel that you "cheated because I used UWorld and I’m not ready to be a nurse", then you are VERY far from the truth. The fact that you are concerned about your readiness to become a nurse, shows that you care abou...

   jsnbsn replied to napswithcats's topic in NCLEX

   Practice testing may help if you are afraid of test-taking itself. But it may also make you even more anxious. The best way to help do your best on ANY test is to simply look at each question one at a time, and answer it with the most instinctive ans...

   jsnbsn replied to MXorSurfRN's topic in General Nursing

   I have always liked the courses from Anderson. You can get up to 30 or more CEU's at one time for a low price. And have a good text book to add to your library as reference. Always found their text books and information to be good quality. Also have ...

9. Nurse Beaten by Patient Denied Request for Unpaid Time Off and Fired

   jsnbsn replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Headlines

   The article mentioned legislation passed by Representative Steven Holt in 2017 limiting government employee unions ability to negotiate on the employees’ behalf for anything except pay, resulted in some of the anguish which this nurse-employee suffer...

10. Voluntarily Surrendering My License

    jsnbsn replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Career Support

    I agree with the others that you should not give up your license so quickly. You never know when you might want to return to California, or what else that license surrender could affect in your career.

    jsnbsn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I have only been on AN for a few years now. But I graduated in 1985, went to hospital nursing for several years, then went into Telephonic Case Management Nursing. I worked for a small company, so I had an extremely wide variety of learning experienc...

12. Roll Call - Who's Been Around the Longest and Your Accomplishments

    jsnbsn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    There have ALWAYS been "insane amounts of inundating charting and chronic short staffing" in nursing -- a lot depended on where you worked. And sometimes you may feel like giving up. Whenever that hit me, I would remember one patient that I had helpe...

13. Roll Call - Who's Been Around the Longest and Your Accomplishments

    jsnbsn replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely nothing wrong with posting a LIKE when it is deserved. So many times --- in all areas of life --- people take niceness, good service, kind acts, etc for granted. Sometimes a simple "Thank you", or smile, or "like" is all it takes to make a...

14. Urgent question

    jsnbsn replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about being "stuck". When a hurricane hit our area, staff from the next shift could not arrive due to post-hurricane road conditions. So all staff in the hospital had to remain until staff could reach us from the next shift.

15. Nurse Imposters

    jsnbsn replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    This brings to mind one time that one of the Case Management Nurses called an MD-office to obtain an update on her patient. She was given a very thorough report by the person answering the phone. When she concluded the contact by requesting the name ...
