How hard is it to get fired if you have a federally protected disability? What if there are layoffs or you aren’t the best performer ?

They are two separate things, no? You’re not protected from a layoff due to poor performance. You’re protected from being let go or fired or otherwise negatively impacted because of the disability.

I would think that if you were cut during a layoff it would be hard to tie to your disability.

Protected disability protects your from being let go on the basis of your disability only.

It will be hard to accuse them of that during a round of company layoffs and a record of poor performance.

They are completely different. Layoffs are based on performance, while a protected disability will protect you from being discriminated or illegally dismissed based on your disability. So if a person has a protected disability and has poor performance, then most likely, that person will be laid off.

HR will still be hesitant to let anyone go without first trying something like a PIP. People file bogus lawsuits all the time.

This is a good point. It helps cover them while buying the employee time

Anyone have a job or ideas for jobs that are a mix between administration and clinical work? I went to school for community health and have a lot of manager/patient coordinator experience under my belt, but I'm also a volunteer EMT and would like to start using those skills in my next job that I'm searching for.

Most titles I've found interesting are along the "medical assistants" role, but don't fit the bill cause I don't have an MA license.

Hello all!

I’m a MSN, RN with 7 years of critical care nursing experience (ICU/PACU). Prior to becoming a nurse, I was a Medical Service Corps officer in the US Army for 8 years. I have my BSN/MSN and a non-nursing MA.
I’m interested in shifting gears to healthcare consulting. I’ve heard great things about Chartis and would love to hear more, specifically with regards to nurses making the jump. Can anyone offer insight or any other consulting firm they recommend?
Thank you in advance!

There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.
