Sometimes yes. Many major insurance companies require you to have a compact license.

That is okay. Many companies still hire nurses for specific states that are not compact states. For example: Guidehealth

The first person to interview you is with human resources. He or she will provide you information about the job and job description and then ask if you have questions.

The second person to interview you is the supervisor or hiring manager. He or she will ask you questions about your previous job, experience and more.

I have heard of some first interviews as a self-taped interview but I have personally had one of those.

Yes, as long as the company exists in that state, they most likely will not have a problem with you relocating. You will still have to change your nurse license to your new state of residence.

Most likely yes. I would suggest that you provide your supervisor with your plans. I had to work from a different state for several days due to a natural disaster.

In the beginning there is a learning curve. I suggest you use the same learning style that worked for you in nursing school.

Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic.

Yes, although, I have seen 10 hour shifts but they are a lot less common.

No, there is always some work to be done. You can always ask a team lead - second in command to the supervisor - to assign more work to you. Or you can message the team on Microsoft Teams with "Does anyone need help?"

They want you to stay busy and productive for your 8 hours.

It depends on the demands of the team. Some teams don't need weekend nurses due to having more time to review authorizations (such as 3 days).

Other teams have less time to review authorizations (such as 24 hours). These teams require nurses to work 1 or more weekends a month.

Yes, some teams offer nurses to start work as early as 5 am and as late as 10 am. Also, if you are assigned to work a weekend, a flex day is offered to have a weekday off.

Yes, there are positions available for remote LPN's. Unfortunately, there are not many, but remote LPN positions do exist.

Yes, there are very few.

If the job description doesn't state the insurance type, then the hiring manager will most likely have that information.

No, I had no certifications for utilization review/utilization management prior to getting hired. It may help to learn either MCG or InterQual to have on your resume.

I suggest the following:

MCG Care Guidelines Specialist Certification - ISC/GRC

or

Acute: InterQual Applied Knowledge

Both, I have only worked hourly. I have noticed that the salaried positions are mostly for management positions.

No, when you signed the employment agreement and accepted employment, your salary stays the same.

I have lived in three different states for one employer and my salary stayed the same.

1 laptop

2 monitors

1 keyboard

1 mouse

1 docking station (unless it is part of one of the monitors)

1 headset

I have never heard of a pay differential for weekend work not working past 5 pm. There is overtime when you work over 40 hours in 1 week.

It varies based on the team.

Some teams only use Microsoft Teams for important questions, updates the entire team should know about, and are strictly work related.

Some teams use Microsoft Teams excessively. For example: 8:00 AM, one person says "Good Morning", then 15 other people say "Good Morning". 9:00 AM, one person says "Good Morning", then 15 people say "Good Morning". This team may also have conversations between 2 people for the entire team to see.

Some teams over post meme's, YouTube music videos, crack jokes, etc.

Every team is different. You won't know the culture until you start the job.

Mostly likely not. If they do request you to be on camera, it may be for a meet and greet or just to take "roll call" during your training.

Otherwise, cameras are off, unless they give you a notice in advance.

Forward her/his resume to the hiring manager. It's not enough for her/him to add your name as a referral on the application.

The hiring manager may ask you if your friend/former co-worker has a compact license. Make sure you know that in advance.

No, you will not care for patients directly. But I have seen some remote jobs require a BLS or ACLS.

Internet reimbursement depends on the company. Some companies may reimburse your internet bill based on the state you live in.

When the hospital does not send clinical. Hospitals are great at notifying the insurance company of an admission but many times fail to send clinical, even after a request by fax and phone call.

You don't have to be. You know enough when it comes to charting. Any technological issues you experience can be handled by IT Support by phone. Just keep their number on speed dial when you need them.

There are many job opportunities within the company. You can either pivot internally or apply to another insurance company.
