Insurance RN

I had a TKR a year ago, returned to work after 6 weeks, but my job as a telephonic case manager made that bearable. I know just what you are going through. I did 8 weeks of outpatient PT, then continued the exercises for 6 months. Exercising has help...

my all time favorite is very close to ambulating the double amputee. Chart clearly indicated patient had been wheelchair bound for a number of years, order written that patient MUST ambulate at least 150 feet before she can be discharged. Well guess ...

This happened to me so many years ago, but I will never forget it. I had been out of work for 6 weeks after an operation. When I returned to work, I was assigned a patient who had been on the floor for about 4 weeks. I introduced myself as his nurse,...

I also cannot get past the fact that the OP infused the 400 cc's that she found when she went to hang the new tube feeding. But, my bigger concern is that the OP stated the patient receives 600 cc's of tube feeding q 12 hours, that @ 2 AM when she we...

As my screen name implies, I work for a HMO in western NY as a Certified Case Manager. It is a fantastic job. But I must caution you, it is a job where you need to know something about everything, you must be able to prioritize and then change gears ...

I live in western NY and am a huge Buffalo bills fan. The news conference last evening painted a very grim outlook for our player. His chances are ever walking again are somewhere between 5-10%. So I am hoping I am not out of line here, but I am aski...

53 here........working in Case Management for a health insurance company and loving it.

Get out NOW! I know that there is no way, I could give competent care if I was working a 20 hour shift. I for one worked way to hard for my license.

As already stated in previous repleis, there is a major difference between anesthesia and conscious sedation. In a previous job, I was the RN for an oral surgeon and did all the conscious sedations. My main responsibilities were to monitor VS, the ai...

Hi Baptized, Unfortunately after trying rverything else, I had surgery for my PF. Was the best thing I ever did........no more cortisne shots for me, OUCH!!!!

My heart goes out to you, I did ICU nursing for 20 years, and if I sat for 5 minutes during a 12 hout shift I was lucky. I like you had chronic plantar fascitis. I finally realized that I could not do that to my body anymore. I never thought I woud f...

Is your mother receiving Medicare? If so, Medicare guidelines clearly state that to continue to receive coverage, a person must have the ability to improve and also to participate in a skilled therapy. If your mother is does not fit into this categor...

Hey hang on there Jill.........the polcie were there and every police officer is trained in CPR, and they carry protective gear. If the victim required CPR, the police would have done it until EMS arrived. As a former Paramedic and Critical Care nurs...

As hard as it is to learn and follow through..............delegate, delegate, delegate.

Hi, I also just obtained my CCM in October 2006........whew was the hardest test I ever took (yes even worse than boards and my CCRN). I am an oncology case manager for a HMO.

When I worked in MICU, a nurse from the ED complained that I asked too many questions during her report to me, guess I did not need to know VS, IV access, heart rhythm, etc.

After many years of ICU nursing, I decided I needed less stress in my life and now work as an oncology case manager for an Insurance company. Yes it takes alot of work to learn the ropes, however it is well worth it. The company that I work for has n...

At my previous job we did self scheduling. We were all expected to work 3 Mondays and 3 Fridays in a 6 week period. We had a volunteeer committee of staff nurses that did the schedule, if you did not sign up for the required Mondays or Fridays, the c...

I also had PF for years, tried all the meds, splints, exercises and other tricks. I finally saw a podiatrist and had the surgery last January.........what a huge relief. I was only out of work for 3 days and now for the first time in years, walk with...
