RN NEW TO WORKERS COMP CM

Greetings!

I have recently expected a new position in WC. I am an RN. Previously doing Disease Mang. CMRN nursing in a General Condition Management program, call center type nursing. I have no WC experience. I having problems grasping the WC verbiage when documenting my nurse analysis, and Treatment Plan Action that I will or should be doing. Understanding that my goal and purpose on case is to help get employee back to work ASAP. I know I need to be "Assertive" ,....but with no experience its hard for me to know how to approach all this.

I do not have a Preceptor, nor did not get to follow a CMRN. I am told just to ask my Team Lead, and to view other nurses docs/charting.

I am told that the Team I am on.... and VERY lucky to be only on 1 dedicated account, but its still hard for me having no WC experience. I left my previous job because I wanted a more challenging role in CM, well this is definitely it! But I am asking myself, "What Have I Done?" LOL

Any tips, recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Stacie ?

    WC has very specific language and laws. I'd start with a Google search of your state work comp laws/regs. As someone who's done WC, you definitely need to be aware of this stuff. They really should be formally training you on this!

    Hi Stacie- I'm wondering how you are doing? Sounds like they set you up to fail. What company did this?

    I've had several WC nurse case manager jobs. Some companies provide excellent orientation and training. Others miss the boat.

    Can you talk to your HR rep? You need training. WC is it's own animal.
