Please clarify with your current employer whether you will be responsible for any of the cost of benefits you received during your leave. The Family & Medical Leave Act allows employer (in some circumstances) to bill employees for a portion of th...
I'm sorry for your circumstances. I seriously doubt you were dismissed for a performance problem. Even in right to work states, employees have some protections against malicious firing. Employers typically have Human Resources policies and procedures...

Can anyone recommend a practical drug reference guide (website, app or hard-copy book) for home use? I am new to case management and often field questions about diluting or crushing meds to be given via g-tube. I have no trouble finding sources that...
