Will I ever get into CM??

[lisa41rn]

I've been wanting to get into CM for sometime. I've received a certificate in CM (ok, I know that's not everything, but it's something), have studied a lot, etc, but can't find anyone to hire me in CM. The hospital I so desperately loved wouldn't even hire me. Everyone seemed to really like me. I have a good attitude, love being there, etc, but apparently the director of CM didn't like me. I have been crushed by it as I wanted to stay at the hospital I so desperately loved, but no luck. I'm going for my MS now and wanted to only work part-time at this time. I know if I was willing to work FT, I'd probably have more chances, but is there anyway I can get into CM part-time? I really want a future in this area of nursing and plan to work FT when I'm done with my MS. Bedside nursing, while I loved it at one point, really got to me and all the other nurses I worked with. Any suggestions? I'm willing to work in insurance, homecare, etc. What area is best? Thanks!
