RN Case manager Vs Doctor Office?

[obc8166]

I am currently seeking a position as a nurse who has one year of Med/Surg experience. I want a Mon-Friday position. I am wanting to know what seems a little less stressful .. Doctors office or Case Management? There is a case management position at a hospital but I have no experience in Case Management which is not a requirement to have. I am undecided. I am wanting to know which one would you suggest as nurses that have done either or. What do you exactly do as a Case Manager (RN) or what does a RN do in a office setting? I have been a nurse for one year and one half. Please send your thoughts. Thank you.

You are right. I thought that was strange. She reassured me that it is very rare to get a call at all. The call goes to a triage nurse first and if its bad she tells them to call 911. If its small she tells them it can wait til Monday. The man anger stated that o wouldn't have to go out in the middle of the night but I would be going out up until like around 9 pm and then just taking calls which she states has only happened one time and she has been there almost two years per her.

I wouldn't work for $16/hr unless I was a professional mattress tester.

You hit the nail on the head...$16/hr adds up to a whopping $32,000 yearly if one works 40 hours each week.

I did not enter nursing to earn less than McDonald's shift managers. And, at least at fast food joints, two of the employee perks are free meals and guaranteed breaks, both of which are not assured at doctors offices.

Nurses need to be paid what we are worth. I know it is a VA position, but my time is too valuable for $16/hr these days.

Lol at the free meals. You both are right. Thank you for the feedback.
