I will be attending an Open House at a local hospital for nurses. It will consist of a hospital tour in various patient care areas, but no formal interview. What's the best attire to wear, scrubs or casual dress? We will tour patient care areas and m...

Thanks everyone! I totally agree with wearing business/interview attire. Just wanted to get the viewpoint of others. I guess the recruiter stated scrubs could be worn because the tour does consist of various patient care areas (but we've all intervie...

You're welcome! Good Luck!?

Sometimes it depends on the type of Case Management that you do in regards to the money you can make. For instance, in a Workers Comp you can make a lot of money, especially if you work in the field and travel a lot. WC involves billing your time for...

I am eager to further my education for my own personal gain and pursue my MSN. At one point, I thought I wanted to do an FNP Program, but my focus now is more on Leadership or Education. I don't necessarily want to teach at the college level, but tha...

You make a valid point in regards to online degrees. That seems to be the "big" thing now versus the traditional brick and mortar school. I was looking at Walden University, they are CCNE accredited, which is a good thing , I guess. There is a local ...

I am a nurse case manager for an outpatient mental health clinic and my position is probably less than 1% nursing and the remaining 99 % is secretarial (phone calls, emails, paperwork, paperwork). You don't have to be a nurse to do my job. I do miss ...

"Low blood" which would mean anemia or low iron. I've heard people say to me "you must have low blood" because I tend to be cold natured and freeze a lot :-)

Hello everyone, In regards to mileage reimbursement where you could be traveling to see clients outside of a 30 mile radius several time a weeks, would you rather take a company credit card for a set amount of $500 per month or receive mileage reimbu...

The travel can be extensive and the nurse has the option to choose the credit card or the mileage reimbursement. Ideally, most new nurses take the credit card while they are building up their caseload. Once the nurse has an established caseload, the ...

The community agency I work for offered me a position that is part telemedicine for our clients that do not have a primary care physician and part home visits for med management and education. These clients will be referred from within the agency and...

Are there any psychiatric nurses that actually do home visits? Whether it's for medication management reasons or educational reasons. What does your day consist of? Do you feel safe, especially when dealing with a patient that has mental health and s...

Jehovah Witnesses believe that the Bible prohibits ingesting blood and that Christians should therefore not accept blood transfusions or donate or store their own blood for transfusion. I thought that most MDs, to include surgeons, have had Jehovah's...

Hello, I am inquiring if there are any Workman Comp Field Case Managers out there? If so, what is your day typically like? Is the job stressful? Is the salary comparable to working in the hospital or is it more? I hear some companies offer a salary i...

GrnTea, Once again thanks. And I appreciate the correction from Workmans to Workers Comp. Your information has been very valuale

GrnTea, Thanks for your comment. Flexibility is extremely important and I agree that it is more important than money, mostly all of the time. I have a pretty flexible schedule at my present job. I think it will be challenging and exciting, all at the...

TJanastasa, How long have you been a Case Manager? I have an upcoming interview for a FCM position for a Worker's Comp company. I am currently a Nurse CM for an outpatient clinic, so Worker's Comp would be a different area all together. I am looking ...

Thanks for your input I did home visits as a Public Health Nurse but I was not seeing patients with mental health diagnosis (not to my knowledge). There is a BIG push for Integrated Health Care in community based services. Providing patient education...

Hello, I am a 66H (Med-surg nurse) in the Army Reserves. I received notification today that my AOC has been removed from my management team, the AMEDD Professional Management Command, and therefore the following options have been presented to me: 1) ...

I was attached to APMC, the AMEDD Professional Management Command in Georgia. I got a letter stating as of April 19 they were no longer managing 66Hs. If you are an ED, ICU, OR And maybe Psych nurse than they would still administratively manage you...

I am going IRR...unless I can find a unit that has a slot for a CPT since I was just promoted last month, AFTER being told the AMEDD was releasing all 66Hs.

The eye mask worked wonders for me. I no longer work nights, but sometimes when I am sleeping at night, I still wear it. It blocks out the light from the alarm clock, the light from the cable box and even the moon light. Plus I always have the fan go...

Does anybody know how to stand up for themselves? This day and time why would a nurse allow a doctor to yell at them in the first place. I would pretty much speak my mind and say "I don't know who you are yelling out but please believe it isn't me!"...
