No disrespect, but I don't see how "battle scars" make you a badass. If you're constantly getting hurt by a patient, you're either not doing your job right, not restraining correctly, or not using the proper precaution. Thoughts?

I don't think that is always the case. I was a therapist at a kid's hospital. I was hit, kicked, punched, bit, had things thrown at me, you name it.... they could be smiling at you one minute and the next minute tables are being flipped over. You could be walking down the hallway and bam a fire extinguisher has been thrown at your head without you even knowing the child was behind you or they could have just come out of their room. You never know... They could ask for a hug because they are having a good day and then something triggers them and they bite you! You're not failing your job they are hurting and/or mentally unstable, and thats why they are there.

I thought so too before. But I realized it is not the case all the time. Accidents happen even if you use proper precaution.

Well, it can really make you look like one. No offense, but accidents happen from time to time. It's a different story if it's because of the things you mentioned.

Gave my 2-week notice and Partner has asked me stay an extra 3 days to wrap up a project that I know will be a very long 3 days... I don’t really want to do it but also am afraid of burning bridge. I said yes to the Partner but now kind of regret it. This job has made me sacrifice my health and I don’t want to work those extra 3 days. I wonder what’s the best way to tell them.

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

Anyone looking at traveling to Costa Rica? They have a list of states from which they will admit tourists while also requiring a negative covid test, health history, etc. As someone not on the approved list, I am bitter and curious why the population is grouped at a state level when there are massively different rates of infection within each state (not to mention personal responsibility) and you are already required to present a negative test. Any idea how often those lists get updated?
