I have been a nurse 35 years .I had to leave my Hospice IPU position.I have asthma and since I had Covid its worse .I can no longer wear a N95.So I updated my resume and went on job search.I now work 100 percent WFH doing clinical reviews and pre auths for health insurance company.I did not have utilization review experience but I worked hospice admissions and was a casemanager .I am making equivalent pay to my last position.Company provides the equipment .I work mon thru fri. no weekends or holidays .I really like it.

Thanks I am actively applying and interviewing currently .I have been a nurse for 35 years.

I Fx my left wrist in 2 places I was casted 6 weeks I worked ED at time ,I was able to return to work week 7.

Thanks for your response.yes I am working with a professional now to update and rewrite my resume.I know it needs to be ATS compatible

I have been nurse for 35 yrs I cannot wear n95 and want to same remote/case manager .I am just starting my search

Thank you so much for responding.I really appreciate it.I would like to do work from home.less traveling .And for health reason less physical position.I would like hospice trage,home case management,I do know and use ice 10 codes and know Medicare CMS.I want a job I can use my 35 years of experience.I have thought about working for insurance company.I recently have been looking into getting my license in finance and healthcare insurance.I would very much like to connect with one of your colleagues please.

Yes used to do it frequently when I worked CT surgery.Pts with sternal wound infections ,would go to surgery then come back with open chest we would do packed betadine for the wound.

Very informative article.I have been a nurse in multiple specialties over last 35 years.I am at a point where I need to make some decisions about my future place in nursing .I want to retire at 63.Thats in 6 years .But I cant physically continue in my current nursing position indefinetly.As I have some health issues after years of nursing .I have thought about consulting in my current specialty Hospice,becoming a LNC or working in computer infomatics .The last 2 ,I would need to get training for.I would even consider telephone triage or casemanagement remotely.I just don't know what my next steps should be?

I just did the opposite went from fulltime casemanager mon thru fri with overnight oncall and weekend oncall position to IPU. After three years of CM caseload 12-25pts.all the endless charting I was exhausted .My IPU position is 3 12 1 sat shift every other week.NO oncall.love it better work life balance

so sad and unneccessary

We use HCHB also on a Samsung Tablet .we use it to chart ,order supplies,do orders,etc .

about the same we are currently down a admit nurse, case manager and a clinical manager and a fulltime oncall person.so we are really busy ,i am a casemanager,so we covering oncall and admit .we dont have stand down

We have option of business casual with a lab coat or scrubs of set color green

I am relatively new to Hospice since 2/18 but have over 30 years experience .I agree with the above this is what our IDT meetings are like. My hospice averages 220 - 230 PT's .

Well said Kadillac .After being a nurse 30 years in hospital last 15 years in ED.Hospice is stressful to me in a very different way .I worked busy Level 2"s with our shares of trauma.I have been Hospice Casemanager now for 3 months and this was a real tough week for me.I got an 8 week orientation and I have a great team I work with .But the pts family and purpose of Hospice I totally get.I lost my Husband last year.The Hospice Team was awesome then and still are .But my Hospice uses HCHB the orderering system I find difficult .I took a pay loss to do this job.It is the correct step for me .I have only done 1 oncall shift with another nurse showing me the ropes.
