New job yet again in Utilization Review, need survival tips!

[Snowchild]

Hi everyone, 

Well, my career has taken some strange twists and turns in the last two years. Quick backstory: I’m an R.N. I worked acute care at the bedside for 8 years in Med/surg, 20 years in Homecare as a case manager(6 years with the same company as a care manager for the MLTC department-managed Medicaid). I tried the nursing home surveyor/complaint investigator position for the state health department for the last year, but my gut instinct told me it wasn’t the right fit for me. I resigned just recently, and now I’m starting a new job in the utilization review department, back in the hospital setting.
I am excited, but nervous. Any experienced your nurses have tips/tricks to make the transition easier?
