Got the job!

Published

So I've accepted the job with UHC as a field case manager!! I'm super excited but also very nervous as this is completely new territory for me.

Does anyone have any pointers on being successful and efficient??

Thank you!!

Congratulations!!! :yes: I'm thinking about getting into the field so I'll be following this thread closely. I will ask you, how did you get the job?

Thank you! I honestly didn't do anything special but apply online, I have no experience in this field, but I do believe being bilingual may have helped since my target clientele is mostly

Hispanic. I will definitely update as I go.

Congratulations!

Even though field case management is new to me as well, my main tip to offer is to practice good time management. Do not push simple work tasks off with the plan to complete them on a future day. Pace yourself.

Good luck to you.

Serrano,

I am sure the bilingual aspect helped a lot!! I was going to be a Spanish teacher K-12 but then switched to Elementary Education. I used to speak fairly well but use it or lose it took effect!! I want to pick it back up as my city has growing Hispanic population.

How long were you at the bedside? I've been a little over a year. I have a background as a Teacher of kids then adults so that may help me. I just can't take the bedside at my dysfunctional hospital with my weak union.

I have been at bedside for 6 years. Started as a float nurse in the med surg tele and emergency departments for 3 years and have been in the PACU for 3 years. I have 1 more year left until I complete my MSN specializing in Adult Geri NP and with 2 little ones I hope working from home gives me the flexibility in need.
