Any LPNs here do HEDIS from home as a nurse? I am an LPN with my medical coding certificate, but haven't took the CPC-A yet (medical coder exam). I have been wanting to do a work from home nursing job for some time now. I recently signed up for a HED...

Hi, thanks for everyone's responses on this topic! I just wanted to update.. I actually was offered a contract HEDIS job recently. However, I had to turn in down, because I just took a job as a medical coder. I passed my medical coder exam a few mont...

My advice is follow the "seasoned LPNs", ask tons of questions, don't do any procedures or pass any meds you are uncomfortable with or not sure about!" There is No dumb question in nursing! Good luck!

I was just curious what kind of other certifications and licenses other LPNs have?? I got my LPN license in '08. I completed a medical coding program in 2016, but haven't taken the CPC-A (medical coder exam) yet. I hope to in the near future, but kee...

I agree... I'm not sure if this course will help me land anything work from home or not. I have looked at the online trainings as well. The one I am doing will be in person. I thought it may help me understand HEDIS better if someone was explaining i...

I am a Virginia LPN. Virginia requires LPNs to complete 30 contact hours of learning every 2 years to maintain an active license. I just wanted to make sure that I am doing my CEUs correctly. I emailed & called the VA. BON not long ago, but can't...

Really wish former coworkers from my old job would stop haunting my dreams!

Congrats on your new job & good luck! I worked in a family dermatology clinic for a few months in one of my first nursing jobs. My day typically consisted of: making sure exam rooms were stocked with proper supplies and clean; looking at the doct...

I agree... I would stay where you are...

I myself have suffered with anxiety for years... Not really depression, but anxiety and panic attacks. I think its genetic, everyone in my family on my mom's side has or had it... I had anxiety in LPN school as well... Honestly, I'm going to agree wi...

Yep, this! ☝️

What helped me in LPN school was the internet! Whatever we were covering in class, I studied online. I also found online NCLEX question banks & would study NCLEX-PN questions over and over. Then studying felt more like a game to me rather than wo...

Great.... Time for school to start again for this nurse mom! Get to juggle work, home, kids & school, again.... Wake up Timmy!

Thanks, yes I always keep paper copies of everything! I guess you could say I'm "old school"! lol

Thanks so much for your reply! ?

If you have several years of bedside care nursing and obtain your CPC-A as a nurse, you have a great chance of being hired from home as a nurse coder with insurance companies, etc. A lot of insurance companies want nurses with floor experience and th...

Yes! I agree... I became an LPN in '08 and I feel the exact same way, like I made a mistake choosing nursing. I wish I had chosen a different career path when I went in to nursing (radiology, teaching, business, anything really but nursing)... I deci...

The CPC is a Certified professional coder. All you need to do is pass the exam. You can study on your own and attempt it, or take a medical coding course through a community college, or online at AAPC.com, etc. Go to AAPC.com for more information. I ...

I know the feeling... I got my LPN in '08 when I was 27, but never really found my niche either.... I have realized I'm not a "bedside care" nurse. I got my medical coding certificate in 2016 and am hoping to sit for the CPC-A soon. I am also workin...

I am LPN with a medical coding certificate (studying for my CPC-A). I am interested in working from home in HEDIS as well, but have no experience with it. Are there any requirements for taking the online HEDIS training? Did you find a job in HEDIS? T...

I'm 38/F. I've been an LPN since '08. I have mostly been a stay at home mom though however the last several years. I worked for a dermatologist for a few months in 2011, then as a mobile health examiner LPN position for a couple years around 2013. I ...

I used an NCLEX-PN test review book. I studied that thing front to back every week & did every question in it. I also did tons of online NCLEX-PN study bank questions (those helped a lot). My advice is do as many questions and answers as you can ...

I'm a 29 year old LPN. I graduated in 2007, but have barely worked since graduating, because I have 2 small children & wanted to stay home with them. My husband makes a good living, and I feel fortunate that I'm able to stay home with them. But I...

Seriously...? I knew I should have went into theater instead of law...

I've hated nursing since I became an LPN in '08. Wish I'd never went in to the field. It's a stressful atmosphere of who has the highest nursing credentials (LPN, RN, BSN, MSN, etc.), & can suck up to the boss the most. It's a "catty", backstabbi...
