WC Case manager

Well put!

Have worked with travelers adjusters and MCMs a lot. They all pretty nice. You shouldn't have a difficult time fitting in. They're a big company and use a lot of case management vendors for their field work

You will usually be responsible for working with a lot of adjusters. You need to think outside the box. Go further than what you just see but look into the future for possibilities of what could happen or what could be needed. Always anticipate.

With the CCM you will have more choices. If you want to be totally at home you might look at telephonic positions with insurance companies. If you want to get out dome then opt for field case management. I doubt the CHPN will help unless you want to ...

There really aren't any specific books for WC. This is a "hands on" learning and no amount of books will prepare you. Just don't wear your "feelings on your sleeve". It can be really tough. But don't let that scare you. There are some good patients o...

Yep I have. Personal reasons for leaving. But get prepared to really work....all the time. They expect it

I agree. Any new job is like that. It gets easier the longer you do it. And I never quit learning. Every day. Never quit seeking new information or ways to interpret it. I can look at things now and see a whole new side to it. I am constantly amazed

I have learned throughout the years of doing this that I have one motto. "I do what is right". We can be put between the IW and the insurer. And I have learned to do the right thing. It always works. Yes there are those that do not want to return to ...

If you look at how many people work for Genex, this is a small amount. Look at reviews for other companies. It's the same. Don't let a few disgruntled former employees get in the way of an opportunity. I've worked for Genex for 4 years and love my jo...

Go GrnTea! You are exactly on!

It's hard to juggle all of the patients needs,the adjusters questions, the doctors orders, physical therapy progress and the employers determination they have a modified job for that employee within their restrictions. And that's just one patient. No...

If you get CM experience in home health or hospice that would work for most companies wanting CM experience. What they are looking for is your ability to be self motivated and get the job done without someone managing what you do. I work in workers c...

i agree. You can study the study guides and buy the CDs with 1200 questions and learn a lot. I also did online CM courses that helped. But they were not that e pensive.

I work in workers comp and had previous experience in hospice. They are so very different. Work comp is more demanding and you provide coordination of care and services for the injured worker. You also go to appts with the IW, arrange for PT, and dea...

UT Tyler looks at many things when considering you for the program. Having all your prerequisites are a must, but having other classes required really helps. From what I have heard and seen, the clinicals are still better at UT Tyler than at other ...

I work at MTC in East Texas. It is a private prison, but is a treatment center as well. We have DWI, SAFPF, and ISF offenders. The company I work for is PNA, and we have about 26 facilities in Texas, new mexico, and Arizona. PNA is a wonderful co...

I'm a DON in an Intermediate Correctional Facility, so maybe my problems are quite the same as yours, but they sure seem to be. I am have been in this position for a short time, and before I came, it was a mess. I am still trying to get my staff up...

I have met nicer nurses working in corrections than anywhere else. After being in the ER, some of the ER nurses think they are so good, and they are, but the attitudes are really bad sometimes. I've got a great group of nurses to work with, we all ...

I also was an ER nurse at a Level One Trauma Center, and am now DON in the medical unit of an intermediate sanction facility. The offenders at this facility are parole violators or waiting for SAFPF. I love the job!!!! We have 2 officers on the un...
