r/OPTUM

Hello, I'm a USRN currently working bedside for about 3 years now but I haven't signed an agency. I was thinking of signing with Health Carousel since my partner is also under the same agency so that our plans abroad would be more aligned. The agency says that they need minimum of 2 years experience and needs continuous bedside. My problem is that as the eldest daughter, I need to support my family and my parents who are already senior citizens. My current salary is unfortunately not enough for our needs and problems as a family :( I tried applying to optum and I'm currently for a final interview. Hopefully, if I pass, I might go for it but at the same time I am worried about getting rejected by agencies since I will not be at bedside anymore. Anyone with the same experience? Or if you guys have suggestions for agencies that accept applicants that are not currently at bedside? Thank you

i work for optum and we have iex and a cisco vpn required to connect for work, i have been able to move around some at my families or friends homes with private internet but i need to emergency travel for two days and will be in a hotel.
will i be able to connect to the hotels wifi (assuming its one you enter room info and access?) in this type of vpn? im worried ill get there and the vpn wont connect.

Hi guys, just got an interview booked for Monday with Optum for United Health Group. Can anyone give me some advice as to what the interview will be like ? What should I prepare? It's for a data scientist 1 position btw

This job is so stressful , learning all the mandates to, micromanaged , micromanaged with time cards and bogus metrics ; not to mention no annual raises.
