  1. Bridge Programs, BSN and Employment

    BassCatchingNurse replied to cmjn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most hospitals are pushing for BSN to obtain "magnet status." I worked at a magnet hospital....not impressed. Here are my thoughts on this.....you can... 1. First, Check with the school. Yes, some...

  2. So disappointed with on-line program

    BassCatchingNurse replied to JBMmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you wouldn't mind...as someone that is not an NP...I have some thoughts. I am currently an RN with 12 years of ER experience; however, I am at that point where I am tired of trying to "educate in...

  3. Pay

    BassCatchingNurse replied to rockyroad#'s topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I do not understand why anyone would take on the responsibility of an NP role for that much. Sadly, there are too many people that will. The fact is the "market" will pay as little as they can to get...

  4. Actual job requirements of teletriage

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Murphree8's topic in Telephone Triage

    I have not worked as a teletriage nurse. As stated, I am not a teletriage nurse. I was trying to help a fellow nurse with what information that I have gathered. I stated, an experience nurse, such as...

  5. 2017 RN to BSN Online Program UTA Current/past students

    BassCatchingNurse replied to tay777's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    So you completed it in a year? Did you take 2 classes every 5 weeks for the whole

  6. Just Hired for UnitedHealth

    BassCatchingNurse replied to 403RN's topic in Case Management

    i went through the same thing sds1arm2. Keep on trying!! I, too, felt like I did great on the interview and had plenty of nursing experience, but I still did not get a job offer. I am trying to get...

  7. How can I get a WAH job through an insurance company?

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Bxa1268's topic in Case Management

    Have you tried Humana or UnitedHealthGroup? As far as resume help... I'd say scan their job posting and use the same key words that they use under "primary responsibilities." Take each one and tailor...

  8. Emergency Nursing

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Some people are just violent...some are just jerks that were never taught how to act in public or control themselves. I'm sure it happens in other countries...but with America's push for "customer...

  9. Just Hired for UnitedHealth

    BassCatchingNurse replied to 403RN's topic in Case Management

    I went through the video interview, recruiter phone interview, and a nurse manager interview with them. It was the best interview experience that I have ever had. They really put me at ease. That...

  10. Emergency Nursing

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Yes, we can/do get security standing by; however, someone can strike you quicker than they can be grabbed by security! Also, some people seem perfectly "normal" before they aren't!! I'm a big guy...

  11. 8 Ways to Prepare for an Interview for the Mid-Career Nurse

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I enjoyed the article. I would definitely suggest to practice behavior interview questions. Have the scenario in mind and wait for the question. I hate this type of question, but one should be...

  12. Actual job requirements of teletriage

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Murphree8's topic in Telephone Triage

    Cape47, I can see why that would be aggravating. Of course, everything we do in the ER is "watched." Everything is on the computer. There are chart audits completed. "Scan rates" are monitored..and on...

  13. Emergency Nursing

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Yes, narcotic pain meds are given to patients due to patient satisfaction reasons. It is sad and partly to blame for the current prescription drug problem. Yes, patient satisfaction is linked to...

  14. Actual job requirements of teletriage

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Murphree8's topic in Telephone Triage

    I've never done tele triage, but I did look into it. I applied to some tele triage jobs and this is what I found (someone with experience can correct me): 1) Hours depend on where/who you work for....

  15. help!

    BassCatchingNurse replied to thetank's topic in Telephone Triage

    It is a part of case management. UR nurses that work for the hospital look at the record and ensure that the hospital gets paid from the insurance company. They review and fix denials. Stuff like...

  16. help!

    BassCatchingNurse replied to thetank's topic in Telephone Triage

    That is crazy that the manager does not support you. In the ER we deal with these same narcotic patients, but in person. Luckily, our management does have our back. One thing that I have learned about...

  17. Providence Portland/Beaverton Tele-advice?

    BassCatchingNurse replied to skydancer7's topic in Telephone Triage

    First, I do not know the answer to your question. I am not familiar with Providence MC or Telephone Advise nursing. Sorry. Second, I'd say whether it is going to be stressful or not depends on you,...

  19. UnitedHealth - computer question

    BassCatchingNurse posted a topic in Case Management

    Curious if anyone knows if UHG supplies a computer for work at home positions? If not, is it ok to use your "regular" computer or do you need to buy one exclusively for UHG work use? Also, for those...

    BassCatchingNurse replied to BassCatchingNurse's topic in Case Management

    Thank you for your reply. Do you have experience with

  21. Emergency Nursing

    BassCatchingNurse replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    It's not as much about "wasting my time" since I have to be there whether it is an emergency or not. It is more about...if my time is spent with a non-emergent pt..that might be time away from an...

  22. how to land a case management job?

    BassCatchingNurse replied to sunshine539's topic in Case Management

    I'd say check with the various insurance companies' websites. Then, apply in spite of them stating they require experience or CCM. Hey...you never know. That is what I am doing. I am also applying to...

  23. UnitedHealth - computer question

    BassCatchingNurse replied to BassCatchingNurse's topic in Case Management

    Thank you for your reply. I'm not sure why "of course" is the answer. As I stated in my question, requiring one to purchase or use a computer exclusively for your job would solve the "HIPAA" issue....

  24. Wellpoint/Anthem BCBS phone interview

    BassCatchingNurse replied to cosmicmama's topic in Case Management

    Cosmicmama, you can't take your MBA and nursing experience and find a management position with Anthem or even UHG, Humana, etc? I would think you could find something. It is true that "who you know"...
