I’ve been waiting for security clearance since July and just found out I’m pregnant after trying for a year. I’m hoping clearance will be granted in early spring 2021 and I can start work soon after. Thankfully taking unpaid time off isn’t a big issue (won’t be eligible for FMLA or parental leave), but worried about timing and telling HR & my supervisor. I’m planning to tell them once I start; know timing isn’t ideal and stressed about starting off on the wrong foot. Any advice?

Y’all, 36+3, FTM and the weather has warmed up where I live (SE US), and the foot swelling has finally hit me 🥲 Wore cute sandals out yesterday - pretty comfy ones - but my feet and ankles were not cute by EOD. Took my shoes off and my crisscross straps were visible in my puffy feet. Lessons learned to drink more water (all day) but also just felt so icky and bloated looking at my feet. Hoping for a cold snap before baby arrives 😂

Likely getting an offer soon - already have planned vacation starting Tuesday until the new year. Do I give notice before I get the written offer/background check so I can leave before holidays but risk offboarding during vacation or give notice my first day back? At a startup so not sure if they'd want me out asap (cash strapped) or expect me to stay 2 weeks. I dont care much about pay, more about optimizing my time before next job (burnt out)

Can’t decide on a job offer. Currently employed and have been wanting to do something different. The other job offer is pretty much what I make now but I’d be losing on a lot of PTO. I kind of feel really confused about what to do. The hiring manager actually picked up on the fact that I don’t sound super excited for the job. But I feel like this is my chance to leave and do something different but I’m hung up on barely any PTO and swapping to a complete different industry.

Real question: how does a hospital system using a leading EHR not know where in the facility a patient is? Father brought in via ambulance at 215pm.....and when my mother called a few hours later for an update on his status they had no idea where he was. She played “transfer me to Dept X bingo” (ED, med/surg, OR, PACU), til she found a nurse who knew where he was. How does this happen?

Me: Once I hit a slow period, I’m gonna get caught up on my backlog of substantive and admin tasks so that I’m not so overwhelmed and disorganized once the pace picks back up.

Also me: Wow, my work finally slowed down! … hey, where did all my motivation to get caught up go?…

Also also me: I’ve had three slow days and haven’t used that time wisely, so maybe I should ask for more work!
