Oasis certification

What to study and how can this be to my benefit financially?

Im a rncm now and do admits,rc roc, dc all day so I don't really need the cert, but am looking to expand my options.

I work way too many hours now. So I need to make more and work less!! Lol

does the cert open any more opportunities?

Also thought about icd 10 cert- but never done coding other than my own coding for oasis.

I just feel I need to work wiser instead if harder. I have a 6 year old and I hate being gone all the time.

Although I do get paid to chart at home which helps.

May be moving to Naples Florida this summer- anyone work HH there?

Thx

First of all, if my company didn't pay for the course, I wouldn't have taken it. I do not see a change in how long it takes me to do an OASIS (at least it didn't improve my time). The advantage to being certified benefits the agency more than the nurse. Could you ask if your agency would be willing to pay for the test? Beyond that, the test is open book (at least the paper and pencil test was). After you study the blueprint, flag the pages really well with question numbers. I used post it notes and wrote the M# really big. When I get to work tomorrow, I will see if there is anything specific. :)

Just figured I'd be more marketable and have the edge on someone else. I honestly like oasis, i think its cool to study lol..... So a better understanding of the correct way would make that better.

I forgot its open book :) sweet
