My employer is currently accepting applications for a cohort program through a local college for a master's degree track. I've been interested in the Informatics track of the program, but I am also interested in starting a family. I would be planning to have a baby in the middle of the program, granted that I am accepted by the hospital and the college. I'm nervous to start the program because of fears of becoming overwhelmed if I get pregnant. Does anyone have any advice on if I should wait to start the program until after I have a child? I know it won't get easier AFTER having a baby to go through a master's program, I'm just nervous I won't be able to keep up with working full time and going to school while I'm pregnant or post-partum. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

So I've found a work-from-home Quality Review Analyst position with a local insurance company in my area. I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what I would be doing in this position. Any advice? It mentions document reviews and analyzing the review data. I'm completely new to this type of nursing so any insight would be helpful.

Thanks for your response. Not sure I could manage to travel for training, so I'll have to think about it. Hoping I can find something closer to me!

Recently I've been interested in a career change. I currently work in the OR at the hospital I've been at for almost 5 years, and I'm just becoming more interested in other types of nursing that are non-clinical, like work from home jobs. There is a job posting where the headquarters are in a completely different state, not in driving distance from where I live, and the campuses are in other states as well. It says you can work remotely from home as a clinical nurse reviewer, which is kind of like utilization management, it says. Does anyone have any insight on how these jobs work? Would i have to video chat with my boss or something? Would I have to travel for training or interviews or evaluations?? Any info on long-distance work from home jobs OR utilization management / review jobs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
