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...

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...
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...
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.

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

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.

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. ...
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...
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.
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 ...
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...

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...
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 ...
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...
Google information about interviewing. There are so many tips out there. Linked In, Monster have good information. You can even join forums for nursing for linked in to learn more about different areas in nursing. You might consider learning more abo...

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...
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...
