Hi Cali, It think itdepends on the setting. (Hospital or Insurance companies ) I can tell you that I recently accepted a Case manager Job at the hospital I worked as a staff nurse , and she pretty much asked me what I knew about case management. Fo...

I recently interviewed for two case management positions and got two job offers. I have no experience in Case Management but I am an experienced clinical and charge RN. One offer was with my current organization and they hired me for a part time pos...

For the nurses who leave the ICU...what areas do u go into.. Most nurses I know go to the PACU. Any other areas?

I say stay at the hospital for a year...it looks good on ur resume for the future, but if u truly hate it ..then leave

Beauty Clinic???

Dont give up....Dont limit yourself to the hospital..try nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other places. Hand deliver ur resume to the nurse recruiter after submitting online. Let someone review ur resume.. I believe persistence works. C...

Id love to say Yes! Ive always loved to be a nurse..but that would be a fat lie. No!! I never wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to be a journalist and i was working on it but nursing just fell into my life and my family encouraged it ( I am appreciati...

Im still trying to trying to see how it could be child abuse ...but nothing is coming up. Like someone mentioned..its a marital issue and they need to work on themselves..so far u did not notice any form of child neglect or abuse ..either reported o...

People talk about how nursing is so diverse and u can always switch specialty areas ..e.g ED to ICU, Tele to L&D..etc or changed hospitals completely. I just wonder how often people actually do that and what impact it has had in looking for other...

I would have notified the supervisor and filled an incident report. Then leave it to management to do what they need to do. I personally would not have called the family member myself..but that is just me..

Hugss ...Just be patient..Its the economy ..but things willl start picking up soon..Keep applying and dont be too picky.. sometimes its better to actually go in person to drop off your resume as soon as u apply for the job online..dont give up!!!

That is concerning for someone who has been an ICU nurse for a year. Some of the things u mentioned are just basic knowledge any nurse should know. I think you both need to have a long discussion and I guess if things dont start changing soon..then t...

Im trying to get some info about GBMC in baltimore. Has anyone worked there?

Its going to be hard to get a good and fair response because u are asking a bunch of people in the nursing field ( Who know a whole lot more about nursing than dentistry) to choose betweeen dentistry or nursing ( A field that they are familiar with...

I agree with the last post..widening ur horizons is a good way to put it.

People switch from different specialties all the time.. I moved from ED to ICU. You are moving from a high acuity environment to a lesser one. That does not mean that telemetry does not have its challenges. I know of some nurses in the ICU that when ...

Not really.... Emergency Departments take new grads. They took a couple of my friends ...Just apply. Good Luck!

Personal Slave...lollll

I dont agree with that..I do have a BSN ..and I graduated with an ADN.

I think I am but Im not sure.I'm so tired and I am worn out. I love being a nurse but I just dont know.. Started in the ER..Worked there for about three years..just got tired of it. Could never let go of work when I was off work. Waking up at night t...

I agree with emmalou...Im a nurse ..not a nun.. The decisions I make are because I am a responsible adult..not because I am a nurse...I don't drink but if I did and choose to have a glass of wine before I work the next day..its okay as long as it wil...
