  1. Who's the best insurance company to work for in TN

    Mijourney replied to Mijourney's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I honestly don't know much about the pay now. I think you probably make more in the hospital then insurance depending on if you're in management or not. I did utilization review work some time ago...

  4. RN CM and MSW background

    Mijourney replied to loriann's topic in Case Management

    Mijourney replied to Wsmith16's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  7. What Degree?????

    Mijourney replied to Haunted's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  10. Tenn. to encourage nursing instructors through loan forgiveness (Tennessean)

    Mijourney replied to Nursing News's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Mijourney replied to ukbsktbll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mijourney replied to Lovely RN's topic in Home Health

  15. Tips on getting the paperwork done

    Mijourney replied to Freebird's topic in Home Health

    IMO, it seems that the new hires are being mishandled by the agency. It goes to the leadership. You don't dump on new hires, you nurture and support them. But nurses just love to eat their own or...

  19. Listing of Informatics and Nursing Informatics Programs

    Mijourney replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics
