You may consider asking if there is the option to work in the office full or part time, or exactly when you would transition home...some places may require 6 months in the office so that you have time to learn your job. And being able to listen to o...

i think she's been cheating on the residency requirement for some time now.

that sounds like a heck of a lot. it's comparing apples to oranges, but i work telephonic, and start to get a little nervous when my load exceeds 100. i guess it all boils down to the level of need for those 1800, and exactly what you are doing for ...

well, i'll be interested to see what others have to say. i was lucky enough to land the first cm job i applied for. but what i am hearing is that finding a cm job can be a challenge. most cms enjoy their job, and the turnover seems to be less than...

1. i don't think there is a definite answer, other than the more the better. 2. again, the clinical experience required depends largely on the area of cm you want to get into. obviously, if you are interested in managing cancer pts, oncology exper...

as opposed to (per your other posts) being a new grad still on orientation?? i understand that you are (rightfully) proud of yourself for finishing school and passing your boards, but that doesn't instantly make your opinion and judgement better ...

thanks for a very thought-provoking post. i get where you are coming from, but i can say (in my case at least) that the flexibility to switch to different areas of specialty is one of the factors that drew me to nursing in the first place (whoops, j...

the insurer i work for has a program specific to congenital heart disease. it's a blend of interaction with the patient (well, parents) and utilization review. there is the option of working from home. feel free to pm me for details. i don't reall...

actually, i was being a little tongue in cheek. sorry that didn't come through. would carrying a gun with me make me feel more safe? no. do i feel less safe because my state does not allow concealed weapons no. we live in dangerous times....tha...

if were as easy as ban guns, reduce crime, i'd be all for it (well, probably not, but i'd be less against it.) unfortunately, it's not that simple. to date there are no studies that indicate that gun bans reduce violent crimes, nor any studies that r...

only if i was part of that 95%....

the ccm requires case management experience in order to be eligible.

aren't they?

so you have just been walking thru existing cases? are you not listening to live calls? how can you be expected to open a new case when you have not seen it done?? as a new cm, it's likely that all you will be doing for a little while is opening n...

considering when i tested back in 10/2007, i didn't get results until 01/2008, that sounds pretty reasonable to me! may be hard to tell, after all, this is the first exam using the new format. try not to worry too much about the results. i've spo...

get a new preceptor. seriously, some people just aren't equipped to precept others. or it could just be a poor match between the two of you-maybe your brains don't work the same. truly, this is not something you can figure out on your own. there ...

i promise you that i and other posters have not misinformed you in previous threads....the ccm requires cm work experience..1 year under a ccm supervisor or 2 years without. there is simply no way around it...you get the job, then the ccm. here is a...

well... #1. the ina does not (directly) set the educational requirements for entry into nursing, that is the responsibility of the il dept of financial and professional regulation by way of the nurse practice act. the state board of nursing then in...

good to hear that holding on to them pays off. i've moved my box o'scurbs three times now, that's how long it's been since i needed them!! i have rn friends with the same issue....you just never know...

you will love it. i'm another "real nurse" working from home. i work as a case manager for a national insurer, and i went home about three weeks ago. it does present it's own unique set of challenges, but as long as the good outweighs the bad, i'm...

i would likely be in a much better mood flying to fl on a weekly basis!! however, i'm not independently wealthy, and i do have a job....we "meet" online. i work with a gal that just finished @ lewis (on site) and another who is @ jacksonville (onlin...

i'm presently enrolled @ fhchs. so far, so good. it is really important to consider what you want from your educational experience and use that to narrow your search. i also wanted to participate in the collaborative learning experience, so i sough...

yes, it can be done. i think that most of the online programs are geared toward the "working professional." however, if money is a concern, don't forget to cost it out. when i was looking a year ago, most of the rn-msn programs were more than happy...

you will do just fine! do post back and let us know about your experience. i'm quite curious to hear how it goes, what with this being the first computerized test and all...
