I once worked in home healthcare and they advertise "case manager" more now in advertisement (Texas) to attract more people. But it is not case management as you would think as a CM in workers comp or insurance companies. I was a HH Nurse and often...

Are you speaking of hospital Med/Nurse Management? And is the person getting orientation a seasoned case manager in DC planning with similar processes? I have only done HH case manager work, but based on what I have read from CMs posting on a more ac...

Good luck. I just got two email Friday for 2 interviews one w/ Corvel and Genex. Let me know how it goes.

I had one interview and be prepared to be asked for at least 2 scenarios where you helped deal with a difficult clinical situation, or how you handle irate patients or their family, strengths/weakness, why should we hire you; Look on Glassdoor/simply...

I do not have a specific care plan software or program from Hosp, SNF, rehab to home. I am not a TCM (applying now) but I have worked in rehabilitation hosp, HHC mostly as a lic. PT Assistant, but also RN a few years ago. I think they are looking at...

Some considerations before for the opposition: How many of you have administered hydrocodone to likely drug seeking addicts or have a family member abusing them? How many have died from the abuse of pain and anxiety meds? Medical case management educ...

@Elimayrn, I have the same question. I heard I should work on earning CE in CM type courses, but found there is limited courses when googled--or they are $250+. I may spring for the $250+ if no one answers. How your first week or 2 has been and sh...

What a timely post. I had a similar problem though mine was dealing with how do deal with 2 separate license careers. Now I need to make some changes on my resume'.

Melissa, Nurse Beth directed me to your article. Thank you and for the comments from other nurses. I just started applying in earnest but lost out on a UM/CM position. My background is both as a RN,BSN 13 years (rehabilitation, HHC, 1 year school...

Nurse Beth, Thank you for the response and the link to Melissa Mills Case Management article. I was hoping that my experience would be an enhancement especially to case management where familiarity to Medicare, HHC, SNF, and a deeper understanding of...

I was in a similar situation years ago in another licensed healthcare field. It is very demoralizing what your preceptor said. Use that negative as a positive and prove them wrong. You deserve a do-over and as others have said, leave this job off yo...

I was in a similar situation. Even some of the floating nurses were intimidated by some of our nurses aides. I found another job where I could not deal with that kind of frustration. I also left an review on glassdoor.com about that particular hospit...

A friend told me when she went to work as a nurse aide at a VA. She said in orientation one was a nursing student orienting as well. She said that this student made a point (instructor was out of the room) of saying, 'you can't get fired if you do ...

It is a risk. I know a friend who was monitored yearly via TB skin test for over 12 years. Ten years ago they went to work briefly at a large veteran hospital. She was learning a new skill, and pt coughed, as she leaned over him. Alarmed but she did...

Great advise. Congrats on your career path. I know you will be very busy once you receive your psych NP. My son has been seeing a psych NP in TX and I often prefer her over the psychiatrist. Good luck!

I copied the link to National Guideline Clearinghouse on school age children with abrasions and lacerations. And I do plan on joining the NASN. :typing:redbeathe

Hi Everyone, I am a new school nurse to mainly one student, but help as needed with other spec. ed students in my class. I am v busy and love it. My student has seizures, gets suctioned intermttently, has a GT and tube feeding, orthotics, standing fr...

Thank you for your responses. As for what the head nurse said...she didn't know what to say. The nurse prior to me was a contract nurse, and so I know she was sort of not included and probably didn't care. I am newly hired and paid just like them as...

I found a thread on first aid (camp nursing) and Hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, antibiotic ointment were listed as must haves. So this had me wondering working in a school setting with kids with similar injuries...kind of threw me off the prot...

i am an rn, bsn who became a nurse after my son was diagnosised with auditory and speech delay and then eventual autism. he is 13 today. the best email/call: contact autism speaks. this group merged with naar, national alliance on autism research. (...

I feel the need to correct something earlier I said....it was late when I wrote. I meant to say a PT can do an OASIS even if the patient rejects SN/nursing, not PT as stated. I would leave this company. But as I said before as long as you are there...

We are getting ready to go paperless. I think that they do enter a lot of the information via some computer program. You company is doing some slide of hand conning work though. You can always call Medicare if that is who is the primary payer and fil...

I wish you well in getting. I remember the nerves of waiting and hoping. When I applied back in 2002 you could get into TWU with about a 3.3, but it just kept going up. I do not think GPA should be the final criteria. However that is the tool they us...
