Hello,
I have been an RN for 26 years (acute care and home health), and have also done medical transcription and have been a medical transcription quality assurance supervisor for several years, working from home when my kids were younger.
I was told by an RN who now does coding that there is a need for more RNs in this field. So I am now taking a CPC preparation course, and I really enjoy it so far.
I'm wondering if I need to wait until I complete the course and pass the CPC exam (due to take this in September 2011) before I can find an entry-level job in this field. Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. (I live in NY.)
