Hello everyone.... Please recommend a nurse resume service. I understand that some view this as an unnecessary service. However, writing is not my strength and I need a resume and cover letter quickly. There is a section here on Allnurses for resume...

What type of program are you enrolled in? I'll attempt to answer a couple of questions. Each insurance company and regions within the company are different. Some authorize a few days at a time while others approve per visit depending on the clinical...

Thank you so much for your response. I would like to clarify my statement because I must have given the wrong impression. At the facility where I work utilization review nurses are considered to be non-clinical because we do not provide patient care...

Help!!!!! I'm having an a panic attack and I don't even have anxiety. I have everything submitted to start October 2015 except my resume. I am totally freaking out because it has been years since I have had to write one. My mind goes numb every time ...

Thank you very much for that tip. I also spoke with my enrollment counselor so I feel much better now.

There is not enough background info here for me. What is your position within this organization? Is the Case Manager in your chain of command (ie. your supervisor, your supervisor's supervisor)? Have you addressed your concerns with your supervisors?...

How is the pay? Would you say it is comparable to what you were making in a hospital? Is there any room for advancement that you know of? Do you have your BSN? Anything else you want to share about the job?

I remember a story that I was not personally involved in as I was either in nursing school or just about to start. I saw this on tv, 20/20 or Dateline perhaps. A late 20/early 30 y.o. sought help for a pimple on his buttock while he was deployed over...

Me too

I wasn't a single mom then, but I am a single mom now. That is why I am glad I became an RN then instead of waiting for all the stars to align to admit me into the program at the school in my city. Jobs are hard to come by in my area. I don't know ho...

Many people who work in uber-urban cities drive for an hour or longer each way every day FOR YEARS. My school and clinical sites were all one hour a day. I drove it 4 or 5 days a week for 2 years back when gas was over $4/gal and I didn't have a job....

I am not a fan of anonymous posters who are quick to chime in and say dump him/her when someone comes on a board to ask for advice about a personal situation going on in the relationship.....but..... the hairs on the back of my neck stood up as I rea...

There are many certifications available for most specialties in nursing. I believe most hospitals and insurance companies use utilization review nurses. However, I can't seem to find a standardized certification for UR nurses. Why is that? We are h...

My facility is small, and there aren't any real opportunities for advancement. They don't require or ask for certification for UR nurses. I want certification to make myself marketable in case I want to spread my wings in the future. I'll look into C...

I suggest contacting your local social services office for a list of home daycare providers. You have a good chance of negotiating earlier or later hours with them since they are already home. That is how I managed with two babies while on active dut...

Try to get a catalogue for that school year. It should describe what was taught in your class including the lab component. I'm pretty sure that I remember some schools in the past telling me that is one way they evaluate classes on transcripts.

I'm actually horrified at your post. Perhaps I missed something. The pt referred to in this thread was not on comfort measures. The pt was a DNR which is not the same at all. Previous posters have done a great job at defining what DNR status means so...

There is something else that needs to be considered before joining any branch of service as a single parent. You never know where you will be stationed in the military. That is why it is difficult to join as a single parent. When I was stationed on a...

I have recently begun to look at some RN-BSN programs. Quite a few school admissions counselors have sent me some info. However, I just got off the phone with a rep from Walden University. He said as of July 2012 they are "not allowed to enroll stude...

I spoke with someone at the NCBON who said this decision was not made by the BON. She said it was made by the UNC General Administration office. I left a message for the contact at that office and am waiting for a call back. This situation has me qu...

LOL OP: Please be more specific so that we can help you out.

Are you sure about that one? Lol I'm teasing. I am a utilization review nurse and enjoy it greatly. OP you should consider this position because you will definitely have minimal patient contact.

I had to treat a pt with Insulin and D50 recently and decided to push the D50 first. It is a good thing I did that because my pt's vein blew just as I started to push the D50. She was a very hard stick and I would have been up the creek if I had give...

How does OP know that all of these people are getting pushed to the head of the line without having to wait or going through the same process as everyone else? Sounds like a alot of assuming on the part of OP. Just a suggestion....Meet with the dean...

Women who wear locs pull them back into buns all the time. That is the style that many women with longer hair wear in the military so I don't get your point.
