What experience is needed for an LVN to work as a case manager?

I am so glad that we are becoming aware of the effect of social websites and their impact on us professionally. I removed all of the information on my fb page...

:yeah: thank you...and wow...for all of my nursing life, I've viewed EVERY patient as if I was taking care of a parent...makes griping disappear, brings out the loving spirit in my work...my co workers can see that, the patient DEFINITELY can ( which...

re: fell into the job... I know! I met one once, and that's what she says, it just fell in her lap... thanks for info!! If I find out on my own, I will post it...somehow.....:redbeathe

Good question! I have experienced this first hand...had a teacher who said, "my lecture IS the test!"...so my classmates and I recorded all the lectures, stayed awake for 2 nights rewinding the tapes, listening to her voice day and night. We get t...

...thank you for responding. I was beginning to think that no one from the nursing world that I've lived in for 15 years was on this site. I work registry too as a PCA in a major metro city in Cali:)... I get to watch all of the afore mentioned ...

:) ...and you're right. I am off base with the insulin ( I can be very overzealous about this subject cause I am so, so tired of seeing bad nursing....I live in a large city, and I'm tired of it) because some have Type 1...but I am just saying tha...

...RE: What? I am giving and taking insulin at the same time? I'm smoking a cigarette, and teaching my patient about the effects it has on the respiratory system at the same time? I'm giving Effexor, and taking some at the same time? I believe tha...

...btw, I will never respond to anyone's appeal for an argument.. My point is simple: Patient first. Business second.... That's all I am really saying. Nursing schools as well as hospitals have money as the primary purpose. Meanwhile there a...

:smokin:You're right. I am new to the site, and just learned how to navigate my way through... I apologize if that irritated you. I really hope what I said didn't hurt your feet when I stepped on your toes... Hospitals closing?? What about PEOPLE...

Try Accredited Healthcare, or Nursefinders....

:yeah: I was so inspired by your post. I have been a PCA for a long time, and can always tell which nurses I am working with. There are those that came into the profession to simply make money...working with them as a PCA and an RN student sorta gi...

:nurse:I'm the PCA where I work...we just monitor, monitor, monitor....do you have nursing assistants on your unit? This is what I do all night long...good luck with the research!:heartbeat

So true! None of the "student nurses" that were cheating in first semester passed. They all, except one, failed, and that one person doesn't realize that although they may be able to pass the NCLEX, their name and reputation in the community of n...

:heartbeat I sooo understand your dilemma. I am halfway through an RN program, and had to stop cause I have to work full time..I have kids and we need food on our table. I am choosing to do an LVN program at this stage, and then do and LVN-BSN prog...

I am sorry...I couldn't even finish reading your post beyond the nurse being abusive...you are a MANDATED REPORTER FOR ABUSE TO CHILDREN AND ELDERLY...in fact, you MUST REPORT abuse in any arena that you're in. Don't discount YOURSELF because you'r...

Yes...but there are other registries too...many more....
