Hi guys, I'm an asian american junior cw in NYC and i was wondering if there was any way I can get involved in the community to help out my fellow POC. I've heard of MAIP, Adcolor, etc but is there anything else I can do?

Look into local groups that help the (your) community. Not a lot of AsAms in advertising, why not be that bridge to helping them learn about it? No one can make the world flip on its head, but you can change the world of one person at the very least.

Looking for ideas for a slight "career change". I can't stand working bedside/acute care nursing anymore, officially burnt out.

Does anyone have any experience with informatics based nursing jobs, or clinical documentation specialist positions? EMR auditing? Remote jobs? Pros/cons? Do you find there are part time positions available?

I don't have my masters just my BSN/RB, nor do I plan on going back for my masters, would possibly consider a certification if really necessary.

I regret being the obedient one, the good sibling, all for nothing. They like him better anyways, always have and now more that he's successful and living their dream.
