I have found that not to be the case on several websites (glassdoor, indeed and yahoo jobs). Like I said in my original post I have read good and bad but most was not very recent that is why I reached out on here.

I am in fact......

I have an interview coming up with UHG and have read very mixed reviews on not only this site but others about the work and expectations. Most of the posts are over a year old however. I would love to hear from someone who currently works for the company or did recently and get their point of view. Also any tips for the interviewing process would be much appreciated!! I live in Iowa if you need to know that.....

I have an interview scheduled with them for Case Management (mostly field position, some at home work) and would love to hear more about this also. I have read very mixed reviews on here and am curious to hear some more current opinions. Most of what I have read is at least a year old. I am in Iowa by the way!

You make some great points and it may seem that I was unhappy in my previous clinic positions which is not the case. Unfortunately where I live clinic nurses make very little and due to some health issues in my household making more money was necessary. Your advice about looking at it as a pathway to a greater good is solid and I have been trying to remind myself of that. It's just so easy sometimes to get wrapped up in the right now and at least seven more months of this is often hard to swallow. Thank you for your reply!

Definitely unit morale is very low....almost every nurse on the floor seems or verbalizes that they are unhappy. It is quite a negative environment but I realize that a lot of things are what you make it. It is hard to stay positive when you feel like you are drowning due to patient ratios most shifts. Thank you for the idea of a pros/cons list. That is an excellent idea.

I am writing in hopes that there are some seasoned veterans out there than can give me some tough love advice about what direction to take my nursing career. Here is a little bit about my nursing background: Started out with my LPN and did long term care as well as clinic work in endocrinology and OB/GYN. Graduated with my RN in 2013 and remained in OB/GYN clinic until recently due to poor clinic pay. I started on a Med/Surg floor at a smaller hospital as a staff nurse in May. My dilemma is that I will complete my 90 day probationary period this week at my current staff nurse position and to be honest I know it is not for me. I dread going to work everyday and feel stressed my entire shift almost every single day. I unfortunately work 8hr evening shifts which means I have to be at work quite often to get my full time pay. I have been speaking with an HR staff member at a local telemedicine clinic about assisting with virtual assessments. Hours would be more regular and no weekends or holidays. I am currently working on my BSN and hope to graduate next year. Bottom line: Would I be killing my career by leaving the hospital setting? Please be honest....I can take it!
