MSN or CCM

Hello all. I am a BSN with close to 15 years experience (mainly in SNF the last 10 years). I am wanting to transition to the case management side of things (preferably a remote based position). I am currently an ADON / Delegating Nurse at a assisted living facility. I handle chart reviews on a daily basis. I am slated to start an MSN program in leadership and management. I am wondering if this will be useful in pursuing a remote based Case Manager position or if obtaining a CCM certification is a better path? Any advice/input is appreciated. Thanks!

    It doesn't have to be an 'either or'.... you can do both. CCMs are in high demand in my area. It seems that there are a lot of new opportunities as Population Health programs emerge. So I'm sure that this would would add value to your career if this is an area in which you're interested.

    If you are aiming for nurse leadership positions, an MSN is going to be a must-have. It doesn't take that much time - in terms of total credit hours & will certainly enhance your qualifications.

    Wishing the absolute best of luck your your career advancement.

    You don't necessarily need either to get into CM. On your resume/application, highlight your experiences with pt education, health coaching, care coordination, and collaboration with different members of the Tx team. You can tell a prospective employer that you are preparing for/planning to work toward CCM. Best wishes!!!!
