  1. Working for Anthem as a C.M.?

    SummerGarden replied to Bluebolt's topic in Case Management

    Yes, a cut in pay occurs just about everywhere when new to CM jobs. On the other hand, after you get a year or two under your belt you can travel or work Per Diem and make more money!

  2. First case management interview!

    SummerGarden replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Case Management

    How did your interview go? I was hoping someone would respond that has experience in this area, but since no one responded, I encourage you to browse this forum. Here is one thread that has some...

  3. Working for Anthem as a C.M.?

    SummerGarden replied to Bluebolt's topic in Case Management

    Yes!!! I do not know about Anthem, but I am recruiting you for the hospital setting. If I were you I would talk to your current and former acute care setting employers. Specifically the Director...

  4. MedSurg/ED Initiatives

    SummerGarden replied to mentall's topic in Nurse Management

    In what capacity do you work where you can implement "new ideas"? It may help to talk about yourself more so that people on here can point you in the right direction. An idea is only as good as a...

  5. MedSurg/ED Initiatives

    SummerGarden replied to mentall's topic in Nurse Management

    Although this sounds like homework, I will respond. IDT rounding in the inpatient setting has a big positive impact on patients and staff. By the way, if this is homework, the best way to find out...

  6. Rejection is for winners too

    SummerGarden posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Someday I hope to join the ranks of the nurses who are managers on this forum. In the meantime I am tackling the application/interviewing process. I have co-workers who have began the same journey,...

  7. Management perspective on applying for jobs in person?

    SummerGarden replied to babydeern's topic in Nurse Management

    OP: All of the above are very good responses because the answer to your question is that it will depend. In the cases where there is a formalized hiring process due to government/agency policy or...

  8. New to current facility, being asked to be team lead...

    SummerGarden replied to jenrninmi's topic in Nurse Management

    OP: Since your post seems like you lack the confidence and maybe the experience to walk into a place cold turkey and be the one in charge of other nurses, I think it may be best for you to decline...

  9. Seminars?

    SummerGarden replied to Rbeck911's topic in Case Management

    Occ Health nurses that have a case loads of employees are case managers for those employees, which is why I was pointing you in that

  10. Travel Case Manager

    SummerGarden replied to intothemoon's topic in Case Management

    This is a good question for a travel agency recruiter. Some hospitals and agencies have child care onsite or very near their facility so being a travel nurse is possible. Good luck!

  11. Seminars?

    SummerGarden replied to Rbeck911's topic in Case Management

    We are not OCC Health nurses, who also share the title Case Manager. The forum for that is located here:

  12. Interview next week....UM/UR

    SummerGarden replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in Case Management

    Congrats! :) I made a request for a Compliance Nursing forum. I am thinking it should also include Regulatory Agency Nurses since both are focused on compliance measures. My request is pending.

  13. staffing question

    SummerGarden replied to theliman's topic in Nurse Management

    There is something called "productivity" and hospitals have a formula to be used by staffing and leadership to determine appropriate cost effective coverage for various shifts per each department. At...

  14. Need to go school to avoid paying loan

    SummerGarden replied to fostercatmom's topic in Case Management

    GOOD FOR YOU!!! :) Although you were asking someone else I can answer. I personally never got through to Dave, but he got through to me! I paid cash for both of my nursing degrees despite...

  15. Rejection is for winners too

    SummerGarden replied to SummerGarden's topic in Nurse Management

    This is good advice! When I was preparing to interview for positons, I gave myself homework in both the nursing specialty and in nursing management. I found many resources (nurse managers and books)...

  16. Valedictorian caught cheating

    SummerGarden replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No, our former Secretary of State did not say any of that or imply any of that! Fox Noise said that and implied that since day one! So did the Tea-Party nut jobs that control that so-called news...

  17. Rejection is for winners too

    SummerGarden replied to SummerGarden's topic in Nurse Management

    Very good start. Also, if you have not done so already, be sure to join committees and participate in projects that assist with promotion. Such committees and projects are valued by the facility...

  18. Interview next week....UM/UR

    SummerGarden replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in Case Management

    It's Compliance; I will be very surprised if it is not. :) Compliance departments have "case managers" too, but not the same as the CMs that are on this forum. Similarly Hospice has "case managers"...

  19. Valedictorian caught cheating

    SummerGarden replied to pinknursepower's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was thinking the same without the evil laugh. :) OP: I personally think you should do all of the above: 1.) Protest the actual graduation by turning your backs if the administration chooses not...

  20. Rejection is for winners too

    SummerGarden replied to SummerGarden's topic in Nurse Management

    I received this information from many sources. I spoke to recruiters after I was rejected and most were vague, which gave me the impression that the hiring managers were not specfic about my...

  21. How to get started

    SummerGarden replied to special1rn's topic in Nurse Management

    Nursing Supervisor? Are you a House Supervisor or a Charge Nurse? Just to give you a heads up, assistant nurse managers in many places work as charge nurses even when a charge nurse is available...

  22. Interview next week....UM/UR

    SummerGarden replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in Case Management

    Although above can easily be UR/UM, compliance officers must know and be familiar with UR/UM, DRGs and Medicare regs, proper documentation, ICD 9 and/or 10 codes and appropriate levels of services...

  23. OR RN for 5 yrs: Do I qualify for UM?...

    SummerGarden replied to LAM2010's topic in Case Management

    90 days is not bad.... I have experienced working for places that require at least 6 months of working before you can apply to another position/department and the time spent on orientation does not...

  24. Managing Patients on the Outside of Hospitals

    SummerGarden replied to goodadvocate's topic in Case Management

    Plus, to add to Silverbat's post… all the investigation by those of us in the hospital setting is not going to predict the future behaviors of someone who reports supports at home or that of...

  25. Disease Management

    SummerGarden replied to Rntr's topic in Case Management

    What you have decribed sounds like Occupational Health Nursing. OCC Health is not the same as Worker's Comp either. There is an entire forum dedicated to this subject:...
