  1. ANY Case Managers at United Health?

    I worked as a CM @ UHC. Then moved up the ranks ( I got out) until I was in a massive layoff ( our jobs really were just a layer) Compared to many companies the pay is okay, you do get an extra week of PTO off for being clinical. They are generous w...
  2. Work your 6 months..then apply for the other position. If you get an interview..then tell your manager. Most companies require you to tell your current manager before an interview ..in some companies you can put that off for a 2nd interview if you ha...
  3. CE for CCM exam

    I get mine through the unlimited ones through AACEU
  4. Work from home? What companies to look at?

    I didn't realize split shif.ts was a bad word
  5. Work from home? What companies to look at?

    Wellpoint has case management working split *****. You can also try united healthcare too.
  6. I'm a RN with a BA ( not BSN) that has been out of the clinical area for 15 years and in my 50's. I am burned out working in administrative roles for case and disease management programs for the insurance industry. I need a change but see for some po...
  7. ANY Case Managers at United Health?

    What department are you interviewing for that you do field visits? Is it for medicare?
  8. Can't believe the difficulty hiring CMs

    Tried to send you a PM but your mailbox is full. Is your position telephonic that you can work from anywhere? I am a certified case manager and am considering a change currently.
  9. Fraudulent visits - yes I brought it up!

    Why wouldn't you assign this LPN a realistic number of visits and no more? Medicare fraud will land her in prison, maybe others who had knowledge and did not report her
  10. Putting in my letter of resignation today

    Good luck. Just went through the same thing. Working 60plus hours a week and no end to it, affecting my health. Taking a break, not sure what to do next as I have been out of the hospital for years.
  11. Do I tell my manager?

    Do not share your diagnosis. You are protected in the workplace and do not have to share. If you are able to show you are more available for work then do so. Then you may have a chance for another position. Sharing you are bipolar can only backfire. ...
  12. After Nursing: Is There Life Out There?

    In the same situation, in my 50's, in a high level administration job and can't continue these hours for health reasons. Before I took this position I wasn't considered for the hospital or even in any other area, too long out, to high up in administr...
  13. Most case management jobs require it. I really don't think you can study for it but there are some online study programs. I studied, passed, but not from studying just from my overall knowledge.
  14. ANY Case Managers at United Health?

    Be forewarned they have been doing a lot of layoffs. If you make your calls, do your job, engage members it really is not a hard job. Hopefully they will not outsource to the Phillipines like WellPoint. You should be able to work from home after you ...
  15. I dropped out. Please console me

    It's just not the right time in your life you have identified that you need classroom learning, you are enjoying your life now and like your job. Plus finances are good for you now. Sounds like you should embrace what is good in your life and let thi...
  16. should I include this experience on resume

    I wouldn't include it since it was such a short period of time.
  17. Help with ADN-BSN/MSN online programs

    I am considering going back for my BSN and have not worked in the hospital for 15 years. I have been on administration for the insurance area but need to get into another area of nursing. Will I have clinicals to brush up on my skills? I am unsure o...
  18. Online programs, RN (BA) to BSN and APN

    I'm looking for the quickest program and least expensive online to obtain my BSN and then move to the APN. I see RN to BSN programs and have seen a RN to MSN program but it is not for APN nor is it online. I am in Missouri. I am considering a career ...
  19. Need advice from hiring nurse managers please!

    I like glass door. You need to take some of these reviews with a grain of salt since most people who post might be unhappy but you can at least see a trend, the culture, how interviews go, and salaries You can go to Glassdoor - an inside look at jobs...

  23. United Health Group

    I would suggest that you look at companies on the Glassdoor website. That will give you the general feel of a company and salaries. Healthways is another telephonic company that treats their nurses like they are in a sweatshop. UHC is not as bad as t...
  24. United Health Group

    They just did a huge layoff and plan to more. Also depending on what types of accounts you work, nurses are now being outsourced to the Phillipines.
  25. Medicaid case management?

    I see it's been awhile since you posted. I did CM for insurance not medicaid but medicaid seems to be more denials and cut throat from what I have heard. I am looking into WC and really trying to see if it would be a good fit. Can you let me know the...
