What are your thoughts on those who refuse to wear cloth masks as a healthcare professional?

I’m starting the IVF process and planning to do my first egg retrieval in early June. I’m hoping to do back-to-back retrievals due to my age and hoping to have at least a few healthy embryos before we try our first transfer. I have Anthem BCBS has anyone done this and has insurance/fertility benefits covered it? Thanks!

We are all sleep walkers (specifically in Europe) walking towards the second wave of corona virus cases and potential lock-downs even though we should all know better.
Change my mind!

Anybody else feel unnecessarily guilty when emailing your manager that you are taking a sick day? Idk why but I always feel like even though it’s completely normal, that it is being judged negatively.

Any primary care physician recommendations in the Alexandria/Arlington area?

At 29 weeks. What are the things to start doing now? Feeling a bit anxious about the closing D date. How can I be better prepared. Have already signed up for birthing classes in Sept and am doing prenatal exercises.

Does anyone have a therapist in the LA area that they recommend? Specifically someone who is familiar with these types of jobs. Obviously everyone’s doing telehealth for now but would be great if you could also say where they’re located.

Upper body day! Injury is recovering well so was able to push a bit more. Feeling good (and tired!)

I'm starting to realize that a lot of my life problems are from me trying to treat my depression with alcohol. This is the most sober I've been in a long time and generally I feel a lot better but it would be so easy to get drunk. Physically the consequences are what are keeping me from doing it. It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.

Started Keto 40 days ago and jut broke the 20lb marker! Averaging 3.3 lbs/week, ~.55/day through keto and IF. Where's everyone else on their journey??

I am trying to move from finance (IB tech) to fintech and have 15+ years of experience. I get a feeling my number of years of experience is working against me as all the companies want is young blood. Am I right in thinking this - what can I do to fix it other than reverse aging :-) ?

Anyone know any consultants who specialize in re negotiating insurance contracts? I’m tasked with finding someone for our fertility practice.

I got admitted to hospital since I was unwell. How can I apply for cashless medical claims as I downloaded one form from general medical insurance plan. Can someone suggest me

Happy fly day. Did you work out this morning?

As a self-pay lady, it’s really annoying to end a stim cycle with boxes on boxes of leftover medication. They could have estimated more closely and included refills or something.

Looking to buy a home in 1-1.5 years. What are some good neighborhoods inside the beltway for 500-650k range?

Have opportunity to work in my firm’s London satellite office for about a year and a half, and then come back to NY headquarters. In good standing with firm and have M&A and capital markets experience. Did not start traveling abroad until my bar trip (did not grow up with the money for trips like that) and think it would be a good personal and professional experience. Any thoughts / advice?

If I’m fully vaccinated, where would be a good place to travel and work from right now? I was looking into Hawaii but you still have to pay for a $90 test apparently.

Anyone else here looking to make a switch into healthcare (physician, nurse, etc)?

Today I am 28! Any advice you wish you had at my age?

BOBF really turned it around. This last episode could have been a movie. Which one will he choose?!??

Anyone from digital business services team?

Had a great job interview. C-suite liked you & your ideas & seemed like they would offer. A day later, they change the job posting to show less experience is needed & took off $125k salary. Thoughts?

Any Publicis PMs go to TBWA\Chiat\Day LA? How was your experience with that transition?

How long did it take after getting your license to actually start making money?

Just curious what kind of projects/work do you guys mostly do at your firm?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your looks and personality, 10 being highest?

Procedural question. I represent a hospital. Codefendant is a company that manufactures breast implants. Case was venued in NY state Supreme Court. Manufacturer defendant transferred case to MDL (we hadn’t answered yet). Plaintiff gave me stip of discontinuance with prejudice but now since case was removed I am unsure how to proceed. Do I file the stip in state court still? Does MDL have jurisdiction over the hospital? Can a hospital even be part of a MDL lawsuit? Very confused! Thank you!!!

I JUST LANDED A PHONE INTERVIEW WITH GOOGLE!!! can I get some google phone interview tips, advice, etc.? (Forever grateful) 🙏🏾

Hi all , looking for thoughts on best company for sfcc. Is company like Deloitte better or a web agency ?

How many of you have left or are planning to leave therapy, and what did you transition into?

What are some good opportunities for growth as a social worker? I've been in the same role for close to ten years, and while I love it, I know I can branch out a bit and probably even increase my salary. What have you all done?

I am looking for a referral for a remote case management position for Heath First, Humana or Evalance. I have 15 years of experience and I have my LMSW in NY and SC🙏🥰

Anybody work in SNF/LTC? Pros cons? I’ve been working in a hospital setting and thinking about making the switch over

Hi everyone HELP! I was lucky enough to receive two job offers, one in SNF/LTC one in oncology outpatient setting. Looking for any tips from people that have worked in either setting or both??
Some background I am coming from a inpatient hospital setting. Thank you!

I accepted a job at a oncology outpatient clinic last week! What can I expect?

I am sick and tired of mental health professionals getting overworked and underpaid. No other profession I am sure is this horrible!!!

How many therapists (and social workers too!) see a therapist themselves? Do you find it helpful?
I think there's this myth that therapists have all their own sh*t figured out, and for me at least I know that's far from true (hopefully it isn't just me). On the contrary, I think we should be leading by example!

Is anyone in any outreach coordinator positions? What is the pay like? I’m seeing $40,000 mark?

Any MSWs successfully broken into the employee wellness/ DEI space at a tech company. Any advice?

Has anyone here written a book or pursued other avenues of translating their skills and experience into income? Maybe an online course?

I graduated in May of 22. I transitioned from being an intern to being a full time counselor, now for 6 months. I feel like I might be catching my agency at a tough time, but as an employee it doesn’t seem to be trying anything to keep me here besides the occasional ‘motivational’ posts from the administrative team. I felt like I was lowballed during my offer, and my negotiation salary was denied since this is technically my first “professional” job. Pt 2 in comments:

How have you dealt with/recovered from burnout and feelings of numbness while working as a therapist?

Might be shifting to a outpatient oncology position from a medical social worker in a hospital setting, any pros/cons major differences?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Any recommendations on a good side hustle or part time job? Trying to buy a house (yes I know the economy sucks right now) and it’s been tough saving with a SW salary.

I'm currently making 45k with 10 yoe in a MCOL city. I took this job just to tide me over during the pandemic. I really need to change my situation, but I'm wondering what a reasonable salary to look for is?

What do you think a social worker with 8 years of experience should be making in Santa Barbara, CA? I make like 50k a year and I feel like I could potentially be making more if I leave my current job. Just want to know for sure before I start looking since it's a risky time to be leaving work. TIA.
