Whew I used to work as a home health nurse and when they said old people will forget everything but racism that sh*t is true!! The amount of times I got hard r'd, had older men say insane things to me about my skin color or my childbearing abilities. Chile I could write a book. Anybody else dealt with this? Especially with folks who are losing their memory? So glad I left and never looked back but to this day I think about it!

Oh my god yes. Working as a home health aide several days a week and the stuff I've heard come out of these sweet old people's mouths is actually crazy. I forget that most of them have been around a goddamn long time and that stuff is ingrained in them from childhood.

This is why I've always thought that raising children in a racist household is akin to brainwashing them. Cause how are they holding on to hating Black people when they can't even remember their children?!

I've always thought they should be better at warning people about that.

Same, shocked that it hasn't been covered more frankly

There could not be any more truth to that statement. It hurts a lot when all you want to do is help and take care of them, but they treat yoy like you're the scum of the earth. I've had a few resort to violence before. To say it's tiring would be an understatement.

I'm sorry you had to go through this. Had gone through this myself and it's been so hard to receive that from someone you've poured a lot of love and care into. It broke my heart to pieces.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
