Thank you very much for responding, that was very helpful! The CDI positions area great suggestion that I will definitely look into. I appreciate it!

Hi, I am currently a bedside nurse..been a nurse coming up on 3 years..and I really want to leave bedside. Something I am interested in would be nurse auditor or possibly coder. For those in that area I have a couple questions: 1. What specialty certifications/coding certifications do you have for your position/which do you recommend? I have seen a variety of suggestions/requirements listed on job postings and I am a little confused. 2. Is adult/med-surg experience kind of a requirement for these positions? My experience is in peds and NICU. 3. If you started doing bedside, how did you make the transition/get your first position as auditor/coder/etc? A lot of postings I saw required a few years of medical auditing experience. I would really appreciate any info/advice. All posts I have come across are several years old and not very specific. Also if there are any good resources with information that would be great. Thanks!
