Non-Patient Contact Jobs

[martymoose]

Is anyone noticing that it seems very difficult to find non patient care jobs? Almost every nurse I work with is trying to “get out” and we hear that request everyday from other nurses in the company too.

Anyone else having this problem ? Was hoping not to waste the degree, but may have to to get out of patient care. Have applied, but then never hear anything back 

Any hope ? Is it maybe regional?

Sometime it just takes one good case, and then word of mouth kicks in. Try hooking on to a new firm c younger attorneys. They become older and more experienced and you can help them.

Thanks, I passed the info on to them

You didn't say what types of companies you're looking at but are you looking at school districts, college campus clinics, city/county/state government, ins companies?

Search for jobs like Denials Nurse, Appeals Nurse, Case Manager, Utilization Manager, Medical Review and Clinical Documentation Specialist. Have a professional resume/CV written. Professional resume writers know how to get past the ATS systems companies use to weed out applicants.

I applied for a couple of per diem legal nurse positions, but no bites. I do have a lot of experience doing medical record review and compiling clinical summaries, but I guess that wasn't enough, even with the CEN/CPEN/TCRN! Oh well. I always keep my eyes peeled. ?

You don’t have to be employed by a firm to do LNC work and you don’t have to limit yourself to records review and chronologies/summaries, either. AAMOF, most LNCs are independent contractors.  Market yourself as a CEN etc testifying expert— get a few cases like that and word WILL get around.
