Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate it!

4 10s, no holidays, no weekends AND a positive work environment (per a friend of a friend), I know which one I'd be hoping for. Good luck and congratulations!

I have been trying to get into utilization review for over a year now. I'm only targeting certain employers so I know I'm limiting my odds but is there anything that anyone can offer as far as advice to either alter my resume somehow or gain a specific type of training or experience to help me to break into this area of nursing?. I have four years of acute, hospital experience and just over a year as a home health case manager, BSN-RN licensed. Any advice or input would be very much appreciated. Thank you

I am a field case manager, I usually see six patients a day. I do my own scheduling so if I need to, I can schedule around doctor appointments or picking a kid up from school. Doing so in the middle of the day though will obviously mean that I'll be working later into the evening.

Hi, I'm not a CNM yet, still in nursing school but working toward it! I had this conversation with my own CNM though and she stated that she doesn't because of fear of litigation and malpractise issues. Our area is very conservative.

Thanks, I was assuming it was something like that but wanted to be sure! :smackingf

I'm a little confused,my major right now is prenursing, that's what it says on all of my paperwork. Am I missing something? thanks...

one thing you might want to look into is the requirements where you would go if you decide to become a CNM. The school that I will attend for my CNM studies requires a BSN. As it's the only program anywhere around me, I'm going straight for my BSN. I'm thirty one, with three kids. It's going to take me 5 years to get my BSN even though I already have a year and a half of credits from YEARS ago. I think I'll be at least forty before I'll be a practicing CNM! Better late than never.... :chuckle
