How does one get into telephone triage nursing?

I have been in the OR for 12 years and I have been looking for a new career opportunity. I was wondering how nurses get into case management.

Uh, nobody has mentioned food yet (esp chocolate) I work in the operating room and there is never a shortage of food. We eat when we are happy, when we are stressed, when we are bored...I've put on 25lbs since I started working in the OR 12 years ago.

wow grimmy!! that really covers all the bases. having been a nurse in the or for 12 years i would also ask to tour the facility. see how others working there are behaving. do people seem happy and relaxed or are they stressed out? do they seem a little desperate to hire you or are they really interested in getting quality personel? i once took an or job where the supervisor told me i was being hired solely on a physician's reference and filling out the application was just a formality, boy was i sorry!
