Utilization review

I'm 38/F. I've been an LPN since '08. I have mostly been a stay at home mom though however the last several years. I worked for a dermatologist for a few months in 2011, then as a mobile health examiner LPN position for a couple years around 2013. I currently substitute teach at my daughter's elementary school because of good schedule with my children. I obtained my medical coding certificate from a local community college in 2016, but haven't taken the CPC-A yet. I am planning to take it in the near future. I am interested in working from home, and keep seeing job postings for utilization review LPNs and RNs. Most say you need 2 years clinic experience.. My question is how much experience do you need to work at home as an UR nurse?? Are most nurses trained from the company on how to do this? Or does one need a strong clinical background before applying for such a position? Anyone start as an UR nurse with no experience?? I have thought of applying for a few jobs that I have seen, but am worried I lack the clinical skills. Thanks!

    Most require a strong clinical background, so that you have a strong grasp of information that you are reviewing. It helps you to form a picture, so you need the experience. I don't think you can pick that up in the training. But I will say that it never hurts to try
