I would like some advice on how to learn how to code for inpatient services, is it hard to learn?

I have only experienced outpatient physican charges and most companies now are looking to hire inpatient coding, which I have no experience in. I am having a hard time finding a job, any advice would help.

Thanks
 
I am currently an inpatient DRG auditor, previously I was an inpatient coder. The best advice is to look for a hospital outpatient coding position, then after gaining facility experience, transition to the inpatient side.
