It was in Virginia. And you might also find similar roles in community clinics or some private practices. For instance at my last job (community clinic) we had a care coordination team which was comprised of nurses who only worked in the clinic for 1-2 days and the rest of the days were spent following up on test results, care plans, and referrals. And in a private practice we had someone who just did surgery coordination (filling out forms, discussing the financial aspect, reserving the OR/ staff over at the main hospital, and patient communication throughout the entire planning process to plan pre-op and post-op care), she did no floor nursing at all just occasionally had to fill in for the phone nurse. There are definitely options out there.

I worked at a health department for a year and a lot of the nurses there do case management. They usually have to attend a clinic at least once or twice a week or make home visits to their active cases but other than that they do paperwork and follow up calls. It's pretty chill and has more of that social work feel to it as it requires you to check on them during treatment/recovery, visit their homes or have them come in to speak to you to check in, and helping them access resources they may be lacking. You don't need anything other than to be a licensed nurse. Usually if any other trainings were needed it was paid for by our state health department and they'd just drive or fly out to the location for anywhere between a few hours to a week.

CONGRATS!!

Oh WOW!, extremely frustrating. Have you checked in with admissions yet? Was there any delay in receiving any documents after submitting your app? Hopefully you'll hear something today!

I submitted my application on 4/1, my documents were all received by 4/3. I heard from admission on 4/16 asking if I was planning on taking my remaining prerequisites this Summer. And then I received my acceptance on 4/24.

Thank you! I got my acceptance April 24th. I just joined this site today.

I got accepted for the fall! Super excited but also really anxious. I have a couple of pre-requisites left to compete. My overall GPA was lower than 3.0 due to a previous degree but my transfer and science GPA were solid. I also have 1 year lab experience, 1 year health department experience in the communicable disease dept as an educator/counselor , and 2 years as a medical assistant. CONGRATS to everyone that made it in, and good luck to everyone who is still waiting on an answer!
