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 n...

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 regulati...

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 to all. I have been thinking of taking the leap to LNC for about 2 years and I think that I will do it in another year when I am finished my Masters degree in nursing. I am relatively new nurse and I have 10 months of cardiology experience, 1 ...

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 nurs...

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 thin...

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" a...

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.

That story was informative and insightful. Thanks so much for posting.

I am in Nursing 6110(ed spec. track) and I love it. Walden is alot of work but it is so worth it . Good luck to you all. Donna

Congrats. Best of luck. D-

All it means it that you got either enough right or enough wrong for the program to determine your competence(sp?). I got only 75 questions and I was done in 35 minutes and I passed. If you do your best then thats all you can do. Good luck and do not...

How long were you on orientation? D-

I agree with all of the above. PLEASE NEVER NEVER NEVER apologize for calling ANY doc. That is what they get paid for. Its like saying Dr smith I am so sorry that you have to wake up and help me do the job that ONLY YOU get paid 100,000 dollars for...

That is really none of his business so no I wouldnt bring it up unless he asked and then I would still tell him non of his business or what concern is it of his?Even if he does like you he is an adult and could find a way to approach you with out get...
