The RN Case Management jobs article sparked a spate of emails with questions about this fast-growing insurance career path. I'll share some of these reader emails with you in upcoming blogs. Here's one from this week:
Dear Lisa,
I saw your article on RN’s going into insurance case management...it really sparked my interest… I was wondering if you had any input or advice for getting my foot in the door. I don’t really even know where to start... with a local insurance office in my area?? I have been a nurse for about 14 years but I’ve never done any work like this. All/any info would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

Dear Interested in RN Case Manager Jobs:
Good for you!
There are a lot of open positions for qualified nurses in case management, so it’s a great time to be thinking about a change. Look for health insurance companies, medical insurance companies, HMOs and the like for case management jobs. You might also look at the links on case manager article page for the insurance careers websites. You can also find case management jobs for registered nurses on online job boards.
The woman I mentioned in my article was an RN for several years before she made the switch to case management. She didn’t have your years of experience before she took the job. Look for jobs at health insurance companies online, and then apply for the ones looking for experienced nurses. Ask to speak to other nurses who work for the insurance companies, to see how they like working in case management; I think that gives the best insight into working for a new company.
Good luck, and please keep me posted on what happens with your career!
Best,
