8/13 this week, I've learned the connection between AN desktop, insurance, and HR

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Seriously. I'm just diving in right now.

As an AN member...

1. I absolutely, positively can NOT figure out a damn thing on desktop via mobile AN. Somebody, for the love of god, I've been finding my posts by clicking on notifications, going to likes, and following them to stuff I've bookmarked. I'm on safari on iphone. I found something that MIGHT be bookmarks, but crazy old threads are mixed with new ones. I am wondering how the heck I managed to stay active before the app. Maybe it was regular desktop pre-mobile desktop in those days. I can't remember, but I was never morefrustrated than I've been this week. Speaking of... Anyone able to link me to last week's thread? I hadn't posted in it before I lost app access. So now it's missing. Not really missing, just impatiently missing. YOU GUYS. I seriously can't get into this site anymore when it's this much more of a hassle.

As a patient...

2. Another hassle - STD's clinician feels that my claim is not extendable. Obviously my job as a bedside nurse is not relevant. Nothing was done on their end to review this until a few days before my claim ended. Two weeks now waiting on their decision and they're now requesting old records prior to my claim beginning. I'm pretty sure, if we keep this simple, if my surgeon feels my body is not capable of being at the bedside, and my hospital wont take me back as a result, then the insurance I have paid for without using for years now should continue my claim until I can fulfill the duties of my job.

As a hospital employee:

3. AND ANOTHER HASSLE! HR. I'm not going there. I just wont. It's been bad enough.

As a patient's mom:

4. Turns out my kid probably wasn't on abx long enough. Pretty sure Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is back. No new ticks, no new exposures. I just think he wasn't treated long enough. New labs drawn. 21 days of doxy ordered. Waiting on lab results. So very thankful for the docs at my kids' pediatrics practice. I wish I could find adult doctors this wonderful.

As a person who napped in an empty house today, after several days of feeling a sinus-y thing looming over me:

5. My brain has managed to combine:

(1)a David Bowie and a John Lennon (adult) kid documentary (pre-Bowie death, late 80s-ish) (spoiler: there was sex but after Lennon was gone)

(2)filming a Lannister scene with the Lannister boys (the grown ones, not the kings) (spoiler: Brienne ends up with Tyrion. I did NOT see that coming.)

(3)filming with a realistic Stark direwolf model trying to bite my leg off (I was actually afraid) (spoiler: it was Aryas)

(4)and it was all with the dark undercurrent of TWD, where a shadowy Negan-esque character kills off a GOT character, but you wont know who until next season

All of this in one dream. I skipped the part where a person I haven't seen in 18 years was there with his new husband. Flew in from Oregon. Or was it Washinton? I honestly cannot remember now. I'm still confused about the elbowy sex.

I really don't actually have anything else to add. I didn't expect to be starting this this week. If there is another one out there done by the person I'd already talked to, I never heard back - I'm sorry! (Please see lesson number 1.)

Thank you! I love seeing sonograms. It's so neat to see the baby progress in utero! ��

Hi, friends,

Please forgive my absence. I've received a message from the lovely LadyFree, who I've happily handed the reins over to for a short while.

Depending on how the next few weeks go, I may have a story to share that hopefully others can learn from. In the meantime....

Love to all of you!

I hope everything works out in your favor!

This week I learned that some companies like to sue anonymous strangers on the internet who say things they don't like.

The fact that three of the five names are regular users that I recognize and respect gives me an opinion about the validity of the lawsuit. How gross.
