Hello everyone! I am new here and this is the first topic that I am posting. All inputs are highly appreciated. I would like to introduce myself a little bit. I am currently practicing as LVN here in the bay area and I'm currently on my last term in school and will hopefully be taking my NCLEX RN this year. I know nursing has a very wide scope of practice and I am leaning towards case management. I only have one year nursing experience at a skilled nursing facility under my belt. I have read that years of bedside care nursing is one of the foundations of being a RN case manager but I am also thinking of going back to school for MSN Case Management. I just want to know what is the best way to jumpstart my career as a RN case manager. Do you have a school that you would recommend for MSN Case management? I am married and have no kids and I figured that if i go to school now for my MSN, it would be better than to go later on when I already have kids. I would also appreciate input from case managers out there and if you can tell me what you love and what you hate about your job to give me a better understanding of the path I'm trying to take. Thank you very much for your time :)
