How do LVN's train to become Case Managers?

Specialties Case Management Nursing Q/A

What experience is needed for an LVN to work as a case manager?

Interesting. I will definitely keep this in mind as I move through my LVN program. Part of me is TERRIFIED that I won't actually like the down-and-dirty part of nursing, as much as I would like patient education, research, ect. My ultimate goal is still to become a diabetic nurse educator. Here's hoping....:)

To: ashultz posted June 14, 2010 I just got a job a job as a UR CM and am in training at our local hospital. If you still have the cheat sheets that you created I sure would love a copy of them. I can use all of the help I can get!

Thanks!

I do have a question though - I've heard that case managers that work for insurance companies are sometimes able to work from home. What do you know about this? I have baby fever on the brain..I do apologize. ?

Most employers will not allow you to work from home if you have a child at home. They expect you to devote the entire day to your work, so you wouldn't have time to take care of a baby or toddler.

I got placed in that type of position a long with visiting patients in their homes (under NPs and MDs) with the HMO/Company I worked for(I did blood draws, vitals, assessments, and etc in pt homes). Had to learn about Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, discharge planning in our hospitals, what made pts meet skilled care criterias, DME, medication costs, and all that jazz. It was cool for 10 years.Worked with cool case managers(one of them hired me as a CNA before transitioning to case manager decades ago with the same HMO), NPs, managers, LVNs, RNs, lab techs, and other crazy folks ? in our office / hospitals.
