  1. Becoming a CM with no experience in CM

    beachyfe replied to MomRN0913's topic in Case Management

    Try insurance or managed care companies instead of hospitals. I got a job as a CM without experience. They are usually looking for nurses who have significant clinical experience and they train you...

  2. IS IT ME?????

    beachyfe replied to Dee_RN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    This is absolutely true - especially in a tight job market! Two of us got laid off and within 3 weeks the other person had a good hospital job because the manager is her friend. I'm still unemployed 3...

  3. Too old to travel nurse????

    beachyfe replied to nitronymph's topic in Travel

    Lucky you!! I'm just trying to find a regular nursing job and have not been able to get hired. I'm a couple years older than you and have a very good resume with over 20 years experience. But I...

    beachyfe replied to rnhopeful's topic in Travel

    But maybe if you're from the Phillipines it seems like

  5. Ever been a patient and had a former student take care of you???

    beachyfe replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I've had a bit of a different situation - a former long term patient of mine ended up being my student! She was pregnant and on the High Risk Antepartum Unit where I worked. She had twins and...

  6. Hospital nurses - is it really that bad?

    beachyfe replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I have also experienced much of what has already been said (overworking, no recognition for hard work, horrible management, ridiculous patient demands, etc.) while I worked in a hospital for nearly 20...

  7. "One Born Every Minute"

    beachyfe replied to bellehill's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was there each week during both tapings. I also have 16 yrs of L&D experience at another hospital. The shows are definitely "Hollywooded-up" to make the births seem very dramatic and dangerous,...

  8. Nursing Shortage?

    beachyfe replied to mboulis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't totally agree with that. I have over 20 years of nursing experience (16 in a specialty area of a large hospital) and just got laid off from a nursing job in the business world. I've been...

  9. Can't get hired

    beachyfe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have nearly 20 yrs of L&D and high risk experience. I just spent the past 5 yrs as a maternity health coach, but got laid off recently. I'd like to get back to the hospital doing either...

  10. Can't get hired

    beachyfe replied to beachyfe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the answers. No, I don't want to move. My parents, who live nearby, are elderly and need help. My children and grandchildren also live near me. There are plenty of OB jobs around here,...

  11. why did you choose L&D.....

    beachyfe replied to vastudent09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it's a calling. I was a candystriper in high school on postpartum and knew from then on that I wanted to work in OB. After the birth of my first child, I became a Lamaze instructor and a La...

  12. RNC?

    beachyfe replied to mnbrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I earned my Inpatient OB certification back in 1994 after working in L&D for 3 yrs. The exam was very difficult (I thought it was even harder than the boards), but I've always been proud I got it....

  13. Telephonic Case Management

    beachyfe replied to surfchic's topic in Case Management

    No, you don't need previous CM experience, but you do need applicable clinical experience. Different areas of practice - CM, DM, and UM. I love working from home. Very flexible and comfortable....

  14. Does the nursing profession really want to eliminate the nurse faculty shortage?

    beachyfe replied to uwaga's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Try starting out as a part-time adjunct instructor in an LPN or ADN program. Once you get a bit of teaching experience under your belt you can move up. But, just like in any other type of job, you...

  15. What level of education do you need to have to teach LPN, medical assistant, RN, MSN?

    beachyfe replied to wih02906's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    In the Community College where I teach, an RN with an ADN or BSN can teach in the LPN program. And an RN with a BSN can teach clinicals, labs, or be the supervisory faculty for final quarter...
