suzanne4, RN · Mar 25, 2005

First of all, is this position in Singapore? Each country has its own characteristics in hospital settings..........

What type fo training do you actually have? Are you Master's prepared?

What type of hospital is this? A psychiatric or a general type with a psych unit?

Did you do your training in Singapore? Are you familiar with Case Manangement duties?

What type of orientation have they offered, especially since this is something that you have not done befor...........is there already a Case Mananger in the facility or will you be the first?

This may be something to post under the Case Mananger section.............

Then definitely post your questions under both the psychaitric nursing as well as the case manager sections for more help on these two areas.

Systems will be different than the US. Be aware of that. Case manangers function as a go-between the facility and insurance company in some ways. They facilitate the treatment for the patient and any further planning that is needed. Not sure if Singapore functions in this manner.
