oooh, i did this! and i never went back to bedside. you will love the autonomy, you'll learn new stuff, and your coworkers, if they were anything like most of the field case managers i know, will be a great help to you, sharing resources, giving insights, and giving advice. there will be days when you're slammed, and then there will be days when you can duck into a local store to hit a sale for an hour. go for it.

HI all. I've had 2 interviews and they are scheduling a third (and final) with a company for a RN case manager position. The company is a managed care company for medicaid/medicare/TANF/CHIP members. The company just recently expanded into my geographic area, so I would be handling a mix of populations...OB/NICU/Psych/Chronic Disease. I would be based out of my home with visits to patients. I was able to speak with 3 case managers in the company and they all had positive things to say, tough the manager was on the phone at the time They said they typically carry a caseload of 35-45 patients, though they said it can double at the end of the month. I've not done case management before, but think I would really enjoy it. I'm frustrated with bedside nursing and am hoping that case management might fulfill some of my passions..education, follow up etc.
