The city

Living in San Diego, CA

Swap snow boots for dawn patrol at Pacific Beach before shifts at UC San Diego Health. San Diego's cost of living runs about 12% above the national average, but California nursing wages, 70 miles of coastline, and Balboa Park make the premium work—especially when January means outdoor tacos in Barrio Logan, not windshield ice.

Who they are

IW Care Connection, Inc. (IWCC) is a California-based Nurse Case Management company headquartered in San Diego, specializing in Workers' Compensation injury cases.

More about IW Care Connection, Inc.

The organization employs Registered Nurses as Field Nurse Case Managers who facilitate and coordinate all aspects of medical and non-medical care for individuals who have sustained work-related injuries. Rather than providing direct patient care, IWCC nurses serve in a coordination and oversight role, interacting with insurance company adjusters, attorneys, physicians, and other healthcare professionals involved in each case. Nurses at IWCC work in a field-based capacity, attending medical appointments with injured workers, visiting hospitals, coordinating medical equipment, and overseeing the continuum of care. The role is entirely non-clinical in the traditional sense — the employer explicitly states 'NO HANDS ON NURSING REQUIRED' — making it suited for RNs seeking a transition from bedside care into case management. The company requires candidates to hold an active California RN license, a minimum of 2+ years of clinical nursing experience, and 2+ years of specific Workers' Compensation field case management experience.

The company's focus appears to center on coordinating and facilitating comprehensive care for workers' compensation injury patients, bridging medical and non-medical needs across the care continuum.

What to consider

The good

  • No hands-on nursing required — purely case management and care coordination role
  • Flexible hours offered to full-time employees
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401K retirement plan
  • Opportunity to work autonomously in a field-based role across diverse clinical settings
  • Exposure to multidisciplinary collaboration with adjusters, attorneys, physicians, and healthcare professionals
  • Employer advertises 'top salary' for qualified candidates

The hard parts

  • High experience barrier to entry — requires minimum 4+ years combined clinical and workers' comp case management experience
  • Field-based role requires personal vehicle and auto insurance at the nurse's own expense
  • Significant travel implied — attending medical appointments, visiting hospitals, and coordinating across multiple sites
  • Role is limited to workers' compensation case management with no clinical skill utilization or advancement

The reality check

Before you decide

Weighing a first job here?

The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
