Humbled Nurse: I am sorry but I have been having trouble with the emails. I did not see an email address from you, so if you sent it, please try again if you want to ask specific questions.

NICU nurse: Hi! Sorry I have been on vacation for last 3 wks. and I don't think I saw your messge before I left. We do predominantly disease management, some case management. Large national/international co. Not sure about openings currently but I'll be happy to check. I am in pilot project to help get more nurses working from home. If you wish to discuss further, send me your email address and we can go from there! Take care.

Hi AnneMarie! The national co. I work for is working toward a co. wide telecommuting environment. I have been telecommuting for 6 yrs. now. Disease management is our largest product. If you might be interested, let me know where you live and I can inquire re: openings! Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!

No I am not doing a paper. I was hoping to share some positive from our world of experienced disease managers with my fellow colleagues who are having tough time with job change. I am doing a PPT presentation in couple weeks for my colleagues. Unfortunately I did not get the response for which I had hoped, but will utilize info from those who were able to respond.

Joanne, Thank you so much for your reply! Sounds like you are rather happy and that is encouraging. Let me ask, do you do manual outbound calls or use a dialer? Are you required to keep within a certain time frame for your calls and so many per day? Thanks again!

hello to all! i am new to this group and am very interested in the insights this group may be able to offer. i work for a large company in which many of us used to do high risk care management. due to changes in the market, our company has transferred many nurses into the disease management arena. as for myself, i am happy with these new learning opportunities. however, many of my colleagues are not as thrilled with the change. therefore, i decided to work on a special project with another colleague to hopefully inspire, motivate and provide possible positives for working in this environment. i thought by reaching out to the expertise of this group, perhaps i can fulfill my goal of supporting my fellow colleagues. i appreciate anything you are willing to share! 1. what kind of nursing were you doing before going into disease management? 2. describe your current or past disease management work environment. 3. what are or were the drawbacks? 4. what are or were the stressors? 5. did you come up with any successful techniques for dealing with these drawbacks and stressors?(please elaborate) 6. what are or were the positive aspects of you disease management role? 7. are you considering leaving disease management? why? 8. if you already left, why? 9. what area of nursing did you go to? 10. what would have motivated you to stay? 11. how long have you been in or were you in disease management? thanks again for your feedback!!!
