Hi Fellow Nurses, I just started a job as a nurse working on Medicare appeals and grievances. I LOVE this job!! I haven't had a good employment track record. I HAVE TO MAKE THIS WORK. (yes I just started therapy). Can you please give me any pearls of wisdom on how be at this job? How do I tackle learning about Medicare rules and regulations, types of appeals and grievances, etc? I appreciate your help, Namaste'?

Hello, Thank you for responding. Do you have a research position at U of M? I'm taking some newbie clinical trial courses for free on Coursera. Namaste

Hello everyone, I accepted a job at Aerotek Scientific as a clinical research coordinator with a university doing a COVID vaccine clinical trial. I have a BSN and have always wanted to be a research nurse. They told me it's 3 months to permanent position. If I perform well, they said the university will take me on as a permanent employee. I've read some articles and viewed videos that staffing agencies will tell you anything to take the job, even it's not a long term job. Have any nurses had experience with Aerotek Scientific? Has anyone gotten their start in research nursing through them? Are they a trustworthy company? Thank you!!

Well, I have great news, I have a phone interview with U of M tomorrow morning! I was first contacted by the ambulatory transplant center. I'll be speaking with a recruiter tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Understandably this is a very emotional time for you and physically painful. During moments like these, sometimes people make drastic decisions that they otherwise wouldn't do. Before you throw in the towel on nursing as a profession, why don't you concentrate on your health and family, wait out the storm, no matter how long it takes, and then regroup. I got my BSN at 47, and I wouldn't want to dismiss all that sacrifice. But if it's what you feel is best for your, by all means, you know yourself better than any of us. Good luck and God Speed.

I feel absolutely devastated and abandoned by my current unit. After my husband dies unexpectedly just five months ago, that on top of everything else, I have to worry about getting a new job to support my child and myself.

I have a phone interview next week for another position at the hospital where I work. Hopefully it goes well. Honestly, I don't want to have to start at a new hospital and go through the orientation period, more preceptors, having to change/transfer benefits. But at least I have a backup plan, right?

To 'Just Me', yes I feel I am mentally and physically read to return to work. I wouldn't go back to work unless I knew 100% that I am ready to give safe and competent care to my patients. I wouldn't put my license and livelihood on the line like that. Plus, I have a child to support. I sacrificed 9 years of my life to get a second degree, my BSN. I can, I will, and I must follow my purpose God gave me. Jolie, Thanks for bringing up the issue about me having to possibly pay for my benefits, I hope I don't. Thank you!

First, I hope everyone is safe and well. My medical leave of absence is ending on 3/25/20. I don't know if I can return to the unit I was at because I had performance issues related to my husband's death. HR told me I have 30 days from 3/25 to find another job or I'm terminated. I was offered another job at another hospital. Should I take it?

Thank you for the great advise. I have done a lot of research and put everything in a notebook. Unfortunately, my interview was postponed until April because of COVID-19.

Thank you very much.

I'm not going to tell them about my husband, just that I'm relocating. I got a call half way to the interview and I got a call saying that they had to cancel the interview because of the coronavirus. They said they still want to interview me and the position will remain open. Ugh!
-
You got it, I totally understand. Less personal information is better. Thank you
-
I definitely won't bring it up unless the relocating thing comes up.I hope they don't though. Thank you.
