2 years into WFH - gained weight, left wrist is under constant pain from keyboard not being the right height, right knee ligament is fragile from sitting on my leg for multiple hours a day. I never considered the trade off of a completely sedentary job until now and i'm starting to wonder if the $$$ is worth the health deterioration.

You don’t HAVE to have your health deteriorate. Just FYI. Exercise. Take walks. Eat well.

Being sedentary will mess you up. Once I became aware, I got myself a standing desk. Balance board. And I try to take as many breaks and at least take a walk if I’m not able to get to the gym.

Just getting old, sport

Get up early and go to the gym. Let work sacrifice a bit in the evening. Eventually you’ll learn to balance the two. 45 min workout is not long

Buy a puppy and walk it! Great company, good for stress levels, walk at lunch time and then after work and chuck a ball around your home office every so often

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
