Who they are
If you take an RN Case Manager role at Child Link, you are walking into a child-welfare agency in Chicago, not a hospital floor. A former Registered Nurse Case Manager described working more than three years in that agency role.
More about Child Link
Child welfare specialists work here too. You would hear about bonuses every couple of months from at least one former RN Case Manager, and the agency sometimes puts out pizza. That same nurse said you would be overworked, that work-life balance is missing, and that the agency needs a full restructure — including who holds which credentials. One former employee treated this as a way to begin a social-work career and named the drive into the city as the main drawback.
