Thanks for the info. Do you think 5 years as a floor nurse is enough experience or should I broaden my nursing knowledge first and get some experience in other areas (LTC, HH etc).

Can any nurses that currently are in CM or UR and work from home through an insurance company offer some advice as to how to be successful in finding these types of positions? I am an RN (ADN) with 5 years of floor experience (2 yrs in cardiac step down/3 yrs in ortho). I left the floor in 2014 to nurse my back/hip injury while also caring full time for my elderly parent. I would like to be employed again but feel that the floor may be too difficult for my body. CM or UR seems right up my alley (I also have a business degree) but I have questions: Do I need my BSN? Do you need to live near a big city and work "in house" first before working from home? Are interviews face to face or video interviews? How did you get noticed and ultimately become hired? It seems like this a desirable, in demand job to get but sure would like a chance at it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.:)
