Don't go for any degree but start StartUP company and learn this way everything about business. And most information for Entrepreneurs are free online, bookstore or library. Just start with an idea.....

It really depends on the company you working for. In my company you need to meet quota and be very productive and they leave you alone, only send you a check. By productive I mean, I produce 40% more than the people in the office.......

I go thru MCG-Milliman which we use at work and is really cheap compared to the other ones.

I have the best work-life balance eveeeeeeeeeeeeer in my life. I can work any hours as long is not over 40 and at home. So here you go... awesome Work/family balance but I still have to meet the quota and deadlines. So, you still need to work hard, smart and efficiently.

there is United, Aetna, Anthem and look on pharmaceutical companies or medical devices companies for educator positions, as well.

I work for Kaiser Permanente.

I work from home 100% already for 8 months and I have thought, too I will be missing the social contact. Guess what I do not miss it for a second, I love what I do with so much flexibility and freedom, no stress. I absolutely love it. Oh, if I want to socialize, I go for lunch with the RN's I work with.... at home... If you are a mom, or you have your friends it is nice to work in low stress environment...You will enjoy it...

You are all wrong in here. I have with another honest nurses reported a nurse who slept and was out of state and was charging medicaid money for 7 years 24 hours a day, stole a lots of millions. She have bought 7 homes...And guess what..... She went to trial after 4 years of investigation and needs to pay back 100 grand, 3 years of probation and that is all. No jail time, no nada........

I work for an Insurance company and I love it, I will never go back to bedside and I do not miss patient contact at all. My income increased and my stress decreases. plus, I work from home. I truly, enjoy nursing now. Leave bedside.

I am foreign educated, first time I took NCLEX and passed 1st time with 75 questions in 2005. It took me 45 minutes. Before NCLEX I was soooo anxious. So, I over-studied. I remember studying every day for 12 or more hours for 3-4 months. I was obsessed, but very well prepared. CONGRATS!!!

Yes, and that is true about too many coaches, today. I just do not understand who can hire a coach just because they have 3 weeks training and no medical background.The another thing which is obvious online there is so much of wrong, incorrect information online about health etc....

CCP is chronic care professional certification from Health Sciences. And I know for a fact there is a billing manual for health education. In addition as a RN you can apply for NPI number.

I am looking for Health Education Billing Manual for health coaches. Does someone knows where to get it? Thanks! I know that as health coach with CCP certification you can apply for NPI number and bill the insurance for coaching.

From my own personal experience, I advice you to quit. Why? Because it is toxic and unhealthy environment. And your mental and physical health is number one priority. I have worked over 10 years in many areas of nursing, and I am telling you it is not worth it. You are responsible for your health and you. The only condition for not quitting will be: 1. You talk to your manager and tell her the truth about your preceptor, so maybe you can get new one 2. Change the floor, pick something else If it is not possible quit, give a 2 weeks notice. Good Luck!!!

Okay, I was in the same position, just one month ago. I have just got hired at Children's Hospital. Maybe do the same what I did: 1. Apply for CPN you will qualify ( hospitals like certifications, plus you must have BSN.); get PALS. 2. I did Case management at Peds Home Health and PDN. 3. Applied for Case Management at the hospital Part-time ( apply only Part-time, it is easier to get in). 4. It is good to know someone from inside or networking 5. Sign for all the conferences and meetings at your hospital you want to work for. It will take 3 to 6 weeks, but it worked. In addition, I have listened to Donna Cardillo CD about interviews and hiring. I cracked the interview you with flying colors. They were so impressed!! Show them you are willing to learn and will do anything.
