Hey fellow Ferns! Thanks for hanging out - please drop any non-bedside/remote nursing questions in the comments 🫶 (And we are endlessly thankful for your likes and shares)

I am a certified case manager now for only 5 years in a acute hospital and it is not a remote position at least where I am and we have 24,32 and 40 hr positions. I work in a very large hospital system in California and these positions are only at the hospital and it does involve patient rounding with the doctors once a day followed by hours of charting, phone calls and meetings. It’s similar to a PA position. It’s tough to get in without bedside experience and exposure at some time in your career, though not impossible especially if you have a Masters degree then you can skip the bedside experience. I feel new grads should experience the clinical bedside position because it not only teaches invaluable skills but you learn team dynamics , organizational skills and strategies, prioritizing and you gain a lot of confidence in your abilities. I couldn’t imagine being called a nurse without truly experiencing bedside nursing and this is my opinion after over two decades of nursing under my belt that includes nearly every specialty except pediatrics or newborn. In my opinion, most of us get into nursing to help people and you’ll never truly feel those rewards unless you start at the bedside. Your content is interesting. Wondering what your background is in nursing? ✌️

This video is so helpful!!!

Wanted to transition to nursing informatics. I am computer savvy.

Hi Fern, immensely grateful for your content. Any advice for an inpatient psych RN trying to get into data abstraction?

Fantastic content! I currently work for CM x3 yrs with an insurance company (been a nurse for 14yrs)in a low paying area in Texas. I have been wanting a position in PA or CDI. Do you know if I choose to work for a better paying city within my state if they are willing to hire me? I notice many remote positions still want you to live in the same city in case of an in office monthly meeting etc. My background includes med/surg, PACU, and CM.

Love your content. I am currently in a process of transitioning, but get rejected for not being qualify for these roles. Thank you for this information

How can a Med.Surg RN transition ?

I have been an LPN for 20 years now. I needed a break from bedside nursing a few years ago and have been working as a remote coder for the last 3 years. Are there any jobs that allow LPN's with their CPC to do these remote jobs or jobs where I can utilize both degrees? I do not want to lose my license but am not ready to go back to bedside.

It is my dream after being a bedside nurse for 24 years to do triage nursing. I have gotten rejected every single time without even having an interview. What on earth is going on???

Do I have to get any certification to become utilization review nurse??? Need little guidance. Thank you

Hi Fern, do you know of any positions where you could work anywhere in the world? Thanks!

Great information. Just the video I have been looking for. However, how in the world do you locate these jobs in the abundance of trash sites?
