Are there any resources for "Disease Management" or help with Complex Case Management? Where and how to get started? I've recently talked with a company that wants someone to help with their employees with major health issues, not comp cases. They ...

Parallon is the new name for HCA's travel division. I don't remember what is was called previously but the one thing I can tell you is if you sign with HCA or Parallon and there is ever an issue you will not be able to work for them again, which is n...

I would be sure and document what time I relieved on the case ..

Yes, left the bedside years ago for the Operating room and didn't ever consider going "under" nursing management. Then left the OR due to a stress fracture....

Ok, I will try to post again with this miserable computer... colleges are a business and nothing more. If you not taking classes they don't make money.. same as going to Walmarts... if you don't buy from them... I talked to a recruiter in a hospital...

Do you have a link for AHH? Thanks

Employers have a right to ask for a certain dress code and this includes hair, tattoes, inappropriate or overdone jewelry, perfume (totally out of place in the workplace). To ask you to show up on time and not abuse the "sick" benefit... there could ...

Thank you...

I can tell you about my experience working for the ARC.... this was a few years back in a "Southern" state.. The ARC hired many RN"s back then to beef up the quality. (We were hired as Nurse Managers too). We came on board, went all over from Centra...

Personally, it is easier to make changes when it's not needed. Get it right and you won't have to do it in a hurry for that job you want. I have a friend that is having an issue with the BON of GA and will actually have to drive there to prove who sh...

Personally, I don't think there is a nursing shortage, I don't believe there ever was a nursing shortage. What I do believe is there is a shortage of nursing willing to put up with the BS and crap with the low pay. Nurses have never been paid what th...

I know a lot of people feel this is "racism" but I can tell you that as long as I've been a nurse (40yrs) there have been many who would put their nose in the air if you didn't go along with accepted "professional" standards anytime, regardless of yo...

Recently talk with them and found that they are not up front with all you need to know. Like, they don't tell you that you have to do "their orientation" at minimum wage until you are almost out the door. To me, minimum wage is a deal breaker.... If...

Humana has many Social Workers and you should have one on your team... they can help you with resources. Have you checked with them? Ask them where they get their resources. Also, Humana has many resources for you online. Good luck..

You do need to work under a Case Manager for a year or more before testing. I sat for the test last year but didn't find it so difficult. I also studied the "study guide" and did fine. My official results came about 2-3 wks after the test. Apply for...

"published literature"... is this what makes a superior nurse to you? Wow...

Yes, I worked in an office many years ago... half days for Endocrinologist and the other half Oncology... pay was poor.. stayed 5 1/2 yrs and moved on along with a divorce. Currently worked in OR for years, traveled for years until had foot problems...

Good for you! Yes, MA does pay a lot better than here in the South... you'll enjoy your job!

Enjoyed reading the questions and responses.. just wished people would give what part of the country they are in with pay. Interesting to know. Thanks

Cisl4him, how did the interview go? Were you offered decent pay and did they give you benefits?

I would like to add that there is "no" standards for their coaches either. What this means is that the coach you have today may not be the one tomorrow and they have to meet goals also. So, you are on the down end of this...my time there I had 3 diff...

I've noticed that a lot of companies are looking to hire for "contract" like 3 months and then possible hire perm. Is this something new they are doing now? I was sent a note from a friend today that one company is wanting a 6 mo contract for an insu...

At this time and poor economy I would take the job because the training is invaluable and time works toward the CCM. That means a lot. Stay PRN at other position if you can. You're lucky to get an offer..

Not possible to stay on a PRN basis while you give this a try? Good luck ...

I understand your thinking like this but be sure you like that job before you totally quit. Sometimes the grass is not always greener. Especially when it comes to insurance companies.
