Hematologist didn't tell them anything. Kaiser wanted me to see one of their doctors bc they didn't believe me. And i told them no, so when i finally got scheduled for a bone marrow biopsy- they decided to just let me go and a day before my birthday.

What about the possibility of NO FURTHER ADVANCEMENT....I see that some if not most are RNs. For LPNs there is no advancement..except RN school which is Ridiculous to get into NOW. Plus, I agree that patients and their family have TOO MUCH CONTROL over OUR JOBS. Like not wanting someone because they couldn't work 2 extra hours for a pt you have been with for years... It is unrealistic expectations- not caring for the nurses and if they have medical conditions or illnesses. Like for example, my tearing my meniscus at work and then NONE OF THE MEDICAL BILLS being covered because "it could have happened anywhere" This is part of the issue. We are not robots, we have spouses and children and our own difficulties, but we are being asked to carry the weight of EVERYONE on our shoulders.

Happened to me. I was being tested for a very high WBC. Seeing a hematologist and employer was notified. I had to take off early because i had to drive an hr and a half or so to my doctor every month. Also had migraines and nasal surgery. Treated me crappy for all of it. And yeah, they fired me. Kaiser is awesome. Wanted me to be seen by their doctors because they didn't believe me.

I feel like i am at my lowest point in my career. I am currently a LPN which i intended on going straight back to school to get my RN that didn't happen. So i have been working for 6 years got into a bridge program in 2016 failed out by 2 tenths of a point in 2 classes. So, i tried again got turned down. I just am depressed tired of working LTC and being used. And going and finding.something else is alot harder than saying it. I feel like i am done and i am ready to hang it up.

Hi, i am attending the 5pm meeting also.

Ok, I have a concept map to do- need nursing dxs- have two. but I am trying to come up with my #1 priority diagnosis. No airway or breathing problems , but I was considering circulation....know myelitis and tx with plasmapheresis. So...I feel stumped.
