Is this unrealistic several yrs after leaving step down unit for hospital case mgmt? I see some hospitals have 6 month training prigrams for new grads or nurses with no OR exp. It was something I really wanted to do 20 yrs ago, but chose to go with...

Our local hospital requires a 2 yr committment - have you heard of anyone wanting to leave/travel possibly after a year? Would you owe them $$$?

Thanks Stacy!

That is the one thing I do not like about case mgmt. Even if weekend cm staff is needed they still have cm's work mon-fri and then take weekend on call ev 8th week. I prefer 12's - I don't care if they are weekend shifts!

Is there any one coding certification you can get for both physician office/hospital? - like if you wanted to work in insurance/hospital auditing and also, on the side for physician practices.

ORTHO abbreviation STS? anyone? (ie - "Improved STS left leg") Thks!

How about STS? as in improved STS left foot. Thks

Isn't it unbelievable how nurses are being treated recently. It seems like companied are trying to go as low as possible with the pay, and scamming us to see how much work we'll do for free.

They have the blue tranlational phones in US hospitals for non-English speaking patients. They are needing us for our nursing skills. It takes a long time to become fluent/conversational in another language, and I'm sure it would take a lot longer ...

Wouldn't it be more cost efficient to hire a couple of translators per hospital, and just let the nurses do their thing, with assistance when needed? Duh!

Is the Nurses' Carelink mentionned the same as Nation's CareLink?

I've done work for chcs over the years, and there is not enough work in my area - do the other organizations have more work/assessments?

Not really off-topic, but look at the incident with flight attendant, Steven Slater this week. A passenger cutting his forehead, and not even apologizing. They deal with similar scenarios/abuse.

Hi - I know this post is very old, however I was wondering if you could PM me with contact info for this position. I've already done similar work for an agency that contracts out for this type of thing, but could not get enough work. thanks a lot!

Hi - I'm in Phila area, and would like to know name of co., and if work is still avail..Thanks!

By the way - what I meant by "eyeball flirting" was continuous eye contact w/my eyes for 15+ minutes, whether talking, listening, laughing or silent.

To me he's very cute!

He confessed he was interested, referred her to another MD, and asked for her #. Ahhh- nice to hear of happy endings.

empty-handed (LOL!). Imagine, maybe you finally meet the person of your dreams, and the AMA stands in the way! It's just that there seems to have been so much in the news recently about them coming down hard on MD's for this. I even read about the...

I've worked with, been a patient of, and dated many docs (that I worked with!). This is a little different, because I barely knew him in the work I did - infrequently seeing him (I did not work in same institution). Now I've been seeing him as a pa...

Thanks pixi - I would never think of making a move on my own, other than going along w/his eyeball flirting techniques! I just can't help wondering if he's interested! He told me that I looked really great the last time he saw me - but that could b...

I know this post is almost a yr old, but glad I found it. New Lil - glad to hear things worked out for you last May! I've been trying to find info on this topic, having a similar situation. I've been consulting with a physician that I've had a pro...

Chenoa - If I were you, I would at least try to get into a liaison or Home Health Coordinator position with an agency or hospital HHAgency. When I did that at least I was getting paid for ALL of my time, and truthfully, the work was a lot more pleas...

I'm not so sure lamaze that the state could do anything. Lawyers I know tell me that, unless you have a union protecting your job, one's employer has the right to terminate an employee, even if the employee is out of work with a work-related injury....

All of you are just confirming what I have thought for the past year about the job really getting rough. I was most recently only doing a few days per week, and felt like it was "taking over" my life. I was exhausted after working each day. I thin...
