I wanted to say one more thing my daughter wants to become a surgeon. If she were to ask my opinion I would tell her to run the other way stay the hell away from medicine. It is what she wants so I am going to encourage her 110%. Her father who is an engineer is telling her that the medical field is not a real science. She needs to go into engineering which is a real science. I just want her to do what her heart desires.

Unfortunately my case management experience was only for two years I did not become certified. The area I live in Utah is flooded with nurses and people in the healthcare industry. In this area they require a minimum of three years case management experience plus certification. They will not even look at me. I have even tried applying for case manager assistant which is the equivalent of a CNA/LPN and I don’t get looked at. Currently I am actually thinking about going back to school to get my certification. With my certification as a case manager I will at least be able to get something probably at half the wage that I would as an RN.

To be eligible for FMLA you must work at a company full time for 1 year. As she started she had only been there 11 months. It is not her company being discriminatory it is a federal law there’s nothing they can do about it.

DON’T DO IT! Nursing is emotionally and physically exhausting when your heart and soul believes 1000% in what you are doing. To do it for a paycheck or to get by. You will either hate your life and your family for pushing you into it. Or, you will become cold and heartless. Don’t let people trick you, by saying your young do it for a bit then move on. The trick is you like money, and you need money to “move on”, but if you stop working to go back to school.... where are you going to get your money? Since RN programs are now BSN you no longer qualify for a grant because you have a Bachelor's degree. When your family pushes you ask them one thing did they know in their heart that was the path that they were supposed to take in life. Because you know In your heart that it isn’t. Your heart has been given a different path. You might not know what it is yet, but you know it’s not nursing. good luck remember to speak your truth ♥️

I was taught take care of yourself 1st your partner 2nd then you will both be alive to take care of the patient 3rd. The same thing applies to this situation. Amid PPE Shortage, Clinicians Face Harassment, Firing for Self-Care

We have beautiful mountains and all 4 seasons up North. If you like it hot and slow St George would be your place.?

I would love to find out her name and how business is doing. Most people here in UT just take the Dr’s word as God, no questions asked. Then when something goes wrong they blame themselves for not knowing better. If they have a neutral third party that they could ask questions to, maybe that something won’t go wrong.

The last several months I have been helping out friends with different problems they are having with the Medical community. I have been their portable advocate. Could a Business of being an advocate for hire be legal? Could it work? Thank you very very much ?

I’m right there with you. I have Essential tremors it is a de-myelination process. I have been taking Primidone for many years. I’m to the point where I either need to change medicine or increase my dose. It just makes me so sleepy during the day, sometimes I can’t even function. I’m trying to transition into care management or patient advocacy. That way I can use voice to text. I don’t have the money to go back to school, so I’m going with years of experience to help with the transition. FYI: I have been actively trying for 15 months with no luck

Have they tried low dose Valium (2mg) or Ritalin? I had an episode of Virgo that lasted 6wks and both of these are very successful at treating atypical vertigo.

I am going to follow this thread

You need to go with your gut. If you accept this position you will always be second guessing your manager and corporate. You will never feel completely at ease even if your doing better than everyone else. You need to find a place where you are comfortable and you can trust your manager.
