Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Ann, RN, BSN, MCG-C — the creator of UR Nurse Guru and your guide through this course. I've spent over 20 years in managed care nursing, working in Utilization Review, Disease management, and Quality for a Fortune 500 health plan. Along the way, I’ve seen hundreds of nurses make the leap from bedside to remote UR — and I know exactly what hiring managers look for. I built this course to give you the roadmap I wish I had when I started in UR. Inside, I’ll teach you the language, workflows, and strategies you need to feel confident and land your first remote UR role.
