I have been a CCA medical coder for my hospital in Oregon for 8.5 years. I have been only been doing outpatient simple visit coding and my supervisors have basically stopped me and another coworker from advancing. We don't have any room for advancement and we are basically stuck.
Im nervous for reaching out to other companies to see if I can get a better offer and advance my career. Im nervous because I am a single mother of 3 and have been at my hospital for 14.5 years.
Any advice or tips ?

You'll never know what else is out there unless you take a leap of faith and start looking. If you've been at your current job for 14+ years, you're obviously very good at what you do, which would tell me you'll probably have no problem getting some great offers. I know it's hard to push yourself out of your comfort zone, but growth and success often come from a place that starts out uncomfortable. Don't sell yourself short. Go see what's out there and then take it from there. Good luck, and keep us posted!

Whenever I ask the OP to eleborate, they never respond and just repost something similar a few hours later. Not sure if these are bots, or just the same lonely dude. Very odd.
