  1. I am a new student that wants to be a nurse

    Mijourney replied to purplehead20042004's topic in Nursing Career

    Perhaps you should consider a medical assistant program where you get administrative and clinical skills and knowledge. Most medical assistants work in physician's offices. If you find that this...

  2. Christian Nurses

    Mijourney replied to kforgood's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with all the previous posters. If nursing is your calling, then it is your ministry. When you put God and others ahead of yourself, you are being obedient to God. Please do not be...

  3. In a slump

    Mijourney replied to b eyes's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you thought about telephone triage? There are some companies that allow nurses to do at-home work such as Intellicare and FoneMed. You would be a great asset with your ER experience. If not,...

  4. I Need Advice Please Someone Please

    Mijourney replied to Mrfox90's topic in Nursing Career

    My take on this is either you can get your CNA certification or medical assistant certification to help you decide if nursing is the career for you. CNA schedules are more flexible then medical...

  5. Need For RN Coders

    Mijourney replied to pattycake's topic in Case Management

    You don't have to go to school to become a coder. Even though it's more challenging, you can do intensive study and take a national exam for coding. I would recommend that you join an organization...

  6. Rn coder or case management?

    Mijourney replied to NurseinNOLA's topic in Case Management

    I'll offer my two cents. I think you should go for both a case management certification and a coding certification. The two do not overlap. One gives you knowledge and skills in managing tough...

  7. Can you prepare yourself to be certified coder?

    Mijourney replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Case Management

    You can train yourself to be a coder. I would recommend that you pursue a coding credential in addition. Many nurses go for the CPC because physician/outpatient based coding is not considered to be...

    Mijourney replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Hi. Need help on understanding the changes in the standards and scope for NI. Can you tell me how wisdom will be measured in NI? Give me an example of a unique position in a functional area? What...

  9. Going through a coding program at a CC?

    Mijourney replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Case Management

    You can go through a local community college or through one of the national associations to get your basic coding certificate. It's a good move, especially if you are going into the administrative...

  10. Certifications

    Mijourney posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    I'm going after a degree in health informatics and information management. Will it be important to get some type of software application certification(s)? Or, is it customary for employers to pay...

  11. Certifications

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Thanks rninformatics. I have another elementary question or two. When one gets on-the-job training in a software application, does this allow the person to be able to easily transfer this learning...

  12. Certifications

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Well, I guess I'm talking about both. Is it recommended to get a Microsoft certification or in other applications like Oracle and Epic? I hope this makes sense. It's just that when I look through...

    Mijourney replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics

  14. Need For RN Coders

    Mijourney replied to pattycake's topic in Case Management

    As the previous poster wrote, there is a great need for coders, especially experienced ones. AHIMA is not the only group that have certifications. The AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders)...

  15. Blue Cross makes about-face on cancellations

    Mijourney replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oramar, while I don't necessarily agree with all the Blues policies, I will tell you, on the basis of friends and family experiences, that people will lie on insurance forms when it's to their...

  16. Thinking of moving to Clarksville..any advice really appreciated

    Mijourney replied to wms's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I have a friend that lives in Clarksville in Montgomery County with her family. She has adjusted and has even graduated from school at the university up there. The schools are okay especially with...

  17. Am I qualified to become an Informatics Specialist

    Mijourney replied to RN_Wannabee's topic in Nursing Informatics

    How recent does one's clinical experience need to be to get into the field of nursing informatics? For example, a 25 year nurse may not have done direct patient care for five to ten years or

  18. Rn Case Mngr Position With Ccm Preferred?????

    Mijourney replied to powernurse's topic in Case Management

    From what you wrote, the employer doesn't offer alot of information. For instance, what type of company is it? Is travel required? What client population is to be case managed? Home health case...

  19. License renewal requirements

    Mijourney replied to mtngrl's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    That's the good part. You don't have to submit the activities with your renewal. As stated before, just have ready if they audit

  20. Warning about Columbia State.

    Mijourney replied to LolaLola's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I have found in my experiences that the TSU graduates seem sharp. TSU offers a two + two program and I'm finding that both levels of graduates seem to be on their p's and q's. Yes, I've heard that...

  21. Considering a move

    Mijourney replied to CainRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    If you are a big city/town person, Nashville may be the place for you. Much of the population live in the suburbs and surrounding counties of Nashville but come to Nashville for work and...

  22. License renewal requirements

    Mijourney replied to mtngrl's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I know for years , I had nurses from other states ask why Tennessee was one of the few states that didn't have CE requirements. Now that we have some type of activity we have to do, I guess that...

  24. UR / CM's : Does your CM dept deny Medicare admissions?

    Mijourney replied to d'cm's topic in Case Management

    Ok so help me understand. If you are a CM or UM nurse working in a facility, you cannot retro a chart to change the status even if the services have not been billed for. So, did I read the...
