Utilization Review Nurse Questions!
I am a RN with 6+ years of Med/Surg experience, and 1 year in long term care. I have decided to really pursue remote work and think I am interested in utilization review. I am curious to those in the business:
- How flexible is your work schedule (I know its different from person to person). Typically is it a 8-4/ 9-5? Do you have to take lunch at a set time? Are you able to take small breaks in your work day to pick children up from school/ grocery shop/ etc?
- I have heard to just apply to jobs even if you do not have previous UR/UM experience. Do you think someone with my background would have a harder chance of successfully finding UR job, or would my best bet be to start with a case management job?
Thank you anyone who has input into their UR/UM career!
