I work for them and I thinks it's a great place to work. Been there close to 2 months. Pay depends on a bunch of stuff but it's good. Benefits rock out loud. You can technically be working from home is you are offered the option within 6-7 months.

Keep your head up I am a month in and it's different from what I'm used to. Take it one day at a time and you will get there. Are you getting orientation?

Great day thanks. Lots of terminology and different processes to get accustomed to. I always have to remind myself I'm on the business side of things and not at the bedside. It's different to advocate for the patient when there are rules and regulations and criteria involved. The pace is different and takes some getting used to. Everything is beginning to come together and it's been 2 weeks which feels great. Day by day I'm becoming more comfortable so I'm sure it's gonna bet much better. It's a bit overwhelming like some have said but there is light at the end of the tunnel. This week I'll have my first hospital with out direct help. I'll let u know how it goes :-)

I work for an insurance company doing utilization review.

I will hopefully be working from home because it's a great option that is offered where I work and I would love not to have to travel in and get dressed up to go to work;) . I love it so far...very interesting. Did u get that job?

I'm a new cm nurse and I will be working from home hopefully by December . I would like to hear that answer as well.

Inpatient is what I am going to be working on....thanks for your reply:-)

Hello all I am starting my new utilization review Rn position next week for a big insurance company in NYC and I would love any advice, warnings, or anything else you wish to offer to help me during those first weeks. I am a new utilization review nurse but I do have an extensive Er back ground as well as gi, ICU step down and tele experience. No case management experience. This is a great opportunity as they are willing to train me and pay pretty well for training me. I am excited and scared...... Thanks in advance for the replys.

Fingers crossed for you!!!!

Please tell me more about your experiences, how did you find the practicum location and how hard was it to set up? is that program and accredited public health program? (I know the school is accredited). Thanks for your time.

Hello, You can try Walden University and see if they can help you. I have and ADN nursing and a BT in electrical engineering technology and I am currently in waldens MSN progran. I actually had no problem getting into the MSN program with my non nursing bachelors. Best of luck to you

I am also a student at Walden University and I abolutely love it :redbeathe. I am in the MSN program with the education specialty. It is a whole bunch of papers but if you can knock that out you should really do well. I am due to take 6140 and I think that I have 6 or 7 classes to go before I am done Start looking into the APA format because it is the format of choice for papers and the more familiar you are with it the better of you will be. Best of luck and feel free to pm me with any other questions that you may have now or once you begin in the program. D-

I will answer the bell if the nurse is not there and I am standing there. I make sure that the patient is ok then I let the nurse know. I expect the same in return. If the nurse is there I have no problem with telling them "your patient is calling" and I keep moving. I have been on the call bell side of things and I do as I would like done to me. For the ones who ride the call bell I at least make sure that they are safe by walking by even if I dont answer all of the time. Best wishes to all.

I also started on a cardiac floor and It was very helpful when I decided to move to the emergency department. The learning curve is high but it is also doable as long as the enviroment is supportive. Best of luck!

I work for Sentara and I have had friends who have done the same thing. Some where rehired and some were not. Best advice is to try again and see what happens. Best of luck.
