Thanks! So helpful.

All of you have been so helpful. I just wanted to know that this goal I have is realistic and not just a pipe dream. I am working on my BSN now, and I am glad that be being a psych nurse will benefit me! My overall goal in the end would most likely be to work from home or in a building doing something like case management. Telephonic would be awesome! I don't want to work in the same job for the rest of my life. I want to grow and utilize my education and get my MSN in something (Its hard to pick a track for MSN I feel).

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and I love it! I have been using it to research how to get started with case management. I am a male RN currently working in a state hospital with psych patients but my overall dream goal is to become a case manager. I am currently working on my BSN and have read about telephonic case management and how many nurses actually do it. Is it hard to become an telephonic case manager once I have 3 years of nursing experience? I also have 10 months of cardiac/medsurg exp. It just seems that scoring these jobs with insurance companies (Humana, Aetna, BCBS, UHG, etc) is too good to be true. I was just wondering is it extremely hard to land a job? I wouldn't care if it was telephonic or hospital/company based as long as I could break into case management. I would like any tips you telephonic nurses can give me. I just want to advance in my career as much as possible while I am young. I hope to hear from some of you case managers and telephonic case managersand get your experienced feedback and hope you can help me in any way you can to steer me in the right direction. I think this site is great for us nurses! -J
