I was just wondering if you had taken any of these course. And if so, are they geared more towards a seasoned case manager or to someone that is newer?

I think both would benefit. I took the utilization review course. It was helpful.

I took the ANCC Case management exam back in Dec 2011 and passed it on the first try. The ANCC study guide was very helpful. However, even with certification and 8 years experience in Geriatric Case management, I still have not been able to find a permanent, full time job in the field. I've filled out over 35 applications with several different major players and never hear back or if I do hear back, it's a computer generated Dear Jane letter stating that they have looked over my resume and feel that other applicants were more qualified. I know it's computer generated because I've received the same letter worded the same way for several different jobs within the same company. Career Builder and Monster have been totally useless, a waste of time to apply there. I finally had to give up my contract position I've held for over 8 years because the company does not pay the nurses gas mileage incentive and high gas prices were causing me to lose money, not earn money. Now I'm back to teaching CNA1 classes and working flu clinics again this fall.

What is a geriatric case manager? Have you contacted any of the places that turned you down for employment to ask them what else they are looking for? What types of places were you applying at? Hospitals? Or another type of facility. I am really curious as it seems, at least here in Illinois with so many cuts to m/c and medicare, there seems to be an increased need for case managers as more and more people, especially older people and those with mental illness are being directed more to staying in there homes and need this type of service.

I worked in long term care insurance case management and care planning. I have applied at several big name insurers like United Health, Aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield and AARP, for geriatric case management and disease management, but to no avail. I'm from NC.

Have you tried to apply to agencies? I have recruiters contact me from agencies all the time. If you do not know of agencies and want to be recruited soon, try joining an online networking website (a really big one that is very popular) and you should start to have no trouble finding CM jobs in your area. Good Luck!

I'm surprised. I keep getting recruiters trying to get me to work for a few of these companies.
