Welcome to my Resource Page. Here I will share special reports and other published works that I have written on Case Management Certification and Patient Advocacy, over the year.

We are Made of Stories: Stories from a Nurse Advocate 

Stories from a Nurse AdvocateStorytelling is a way to teach, work through issues and understand challenges that if not resolved can cause your life to get off track. Storytelling helped me tell my story of how a life-changing illness changed my life, helped me to be a better nurse, and open many doors which have given me new opportunities

We Are Made of Stories: Stories from a Nurse Advocate is a compilation of a few of the most meaningful Blog Posts from my weekly Blog, Nurse Advocate. I segmented them into different chapters that will teach and enable you to become your own best advocate when you enter the complex world of healthcare.  

The posts are written for people ( patients, and their caregivers), to help them better understand the complex world of healthcare. The information is also meant to be read by all members of the healthcare team, so they understand what people go through when they enter the healthcare system. The goal is for each member of the care team to realize how important they are to the people they come into contact with through their work.

I hope the Stories in this Special Report, help you, your family, and your healthcare team has a safe and effective journey.

2022 Case Management Salary and Trends Special Report

We are often asked about the salary of case managers. To answer this question The Case Management Society of America (CMSA) and the Case Management Institute (CMI) collaborated on a 2022 Case Management Salary and Trends Survey.

The survey results show that most case managers (62%) earn a base salary of $80,000 or more. Over a quarter of case managers (27%) earn $100,000 per year or more. 8% make $130,000 or more annual base salary while only 7% of case managers reported a salary under $60,000. In addition, 84% of case managers’ salaries were listed at or above $70,000 per year. (Cooper-Gillingham et al., 2022)

Furthermore, 65% of case managers reported an increase in their salary over the last year and 85% of case managers are satisfied with the salary they receive. (Cooper-Gillingham et al., 2022)
