clhankin67's post in How do LVN's train to become Case Managers? was marked as the answerI became a Case Manager in a smaller hospital while an LPN. I also went on to work at 3 seperate insurance companies as an LPN. I applied for positions that required an RN Licensure, but allowed my experience to speak for itself. I am now an RN and have been promoted to Regional Inpatient Manager with 16 direct reports for a Medicare HMO. There are many different CM certification classes out there, you will just need to clarify what specifically is the position requiring.
Be proactive, talk to your facility Case Managers and ask them how they got started. Inquire if you can shadow them on your day off so that you can learn more about the job. It is easier to get into a weekend or part time position at a hospital than full time.
Good luck!
