   Don’t want to take care of people anymore...

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   Since you don't seem to be a new nurse, I would recommend looking into a Utilization Review position. I haven't physically taken care of a patient in over three years, but we do ensure that they are...

   Utilization Review Nurse

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Susan69's topic in General Specialties

   Currently, there is no specific nursing certification for Utilization Review/Management. My department recognizes the ACM-RN and CCM certifications once you've worked in the specialty for 1-2

   Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

   I think you missed the part where the OP stated they had three years of ED experience and at least some Outpatient experience. For my department, Utilization Management, that would be enough to at...

   Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

   I second the Utilization Management suggestion. I'm regional supervisor over three hospitals in my health system and have not had to deal with a patient/patient's family in almost three years. We do...

   What is it like in your hospital right now?

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I don't understand this either. In the last two weeks, my hospital removed the mask requirement for those who had not gotten the flu shot and told everyone else if they were not involved in direct pt...

   Rehab nursing - Yes or No?

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to mymunnich's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Look for positions on acute inpatient rehab units if you're interested in Rehab nursing. Most are hospital-based, but some are free-standing also. It's the best of both worlds - you deal with acute...

   I Desperately Want Out

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to toxiktraktor's topic in Nursing Career

   I wouldn't include Utilization Review, case management, or home health in the list of jobs where one would have no on-call, no weekends, and no holidays, especially if those jobs are hospital-based....

   New Grad-Insulin

   Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

   What happens when you have a brain injury patient that requires a 1:1 sitter? Does the tech get pulled to sit with the patient leaving you to fend for yourself with the rest of the patients? Brain...

    91% in NUR1 but failed CPE

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Bayner's topic in General Students

    Do they not offer repeat CPEs anymore? I graduated from this school and when I attended the policy was if you failed a skill during CPEs, you got a chance to repeat whatever skill you failed, plus...

    New Unit Clerk feeling discouraged

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Kiwi19's topic in General Nursing

    It's weird to me that there are still hospitals that allow hand-written doctors' orders. At my hospital, orders are all electronic and the doctors are strongly encouraged to enter their own orders....

    Floating

    When I was a Rehab floor nurse, my co-worker was floated to...wait for it...the CATH LAB and expected to fully take over the duties of the off-going

    New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This job is about so much more than just clinical skills. It also encompasses the "boring" and "political" side of nursing - paperwork, insurance auths, Medicare/Medicaid regulations, etc. Would you...

    Sabotage? Failed by 0.1%

    Boog'sCRRN246 replied to gpnbe1a6's topic in General Students

    And who paid you to come on here and attack everyone who offered opinions you didn't like? Also, you are sorely mistaken if you think people go into nursing because they are "money hungry." That is...
