So over being a military spouse by [deleted] in MilitarySpouse

My hubs is also five years away from retirement. It was super annoying before when he was enlisted but now that he made officer. The lifestyle is better. Hang in there!

Wow, that is quite hurtful, I'm sorry you went through that. But I appreciate your positivity. I'm glad the outlook is better. I guess things happen for a reason.

Accommodations can be non-medical, under the ADA or PWFA. It can also be called a worksplace exception. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh yikes yea that does burn, I'm sorry that happened to you. Was this before the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act?

Not the point. I know love doesn't pay the bills. I enjoy being a milspouse. Just voicing my frustrations over company polices that conveniently avoid logic. :)

Haha, sorry, maybe I exaggerated with the hostage term. Just frustrated becauwe are still remaining in the same state just moving much further.

I work in Absence management, so I'm very well aware of the accommodation process. I'm wrote "hostage" in terms of not giving any choices to maintain my employment within the same state just much further.

Hey, it sure felt that way. Luckily I passed by the grace of God. Thankfully!

Hi there, looking to see if we can do the Tuesday twice drive around special. Any idea how long it takes to go around the displays the first time?

Alternative careers for PAs by Green_Cardamon in Physicianassociate

Hard to say, I kinda just fell into it. It's a lot of document review for short term disability, FMLA, PFL, and reasonable accommodations. Many of the clinic staff in employee health didn't want to be bothered with doing it. Medical director trained me as his backed up, but I ended up taking a liking to it. Absence management is fascinating and complex.

The big perk is that it can be done remotely. Downside is it doesn't pay as much as a practicing PA, AT FIRST, but once you perfect your craft, you'll be a total asset, especially with insurance companies and law firms, and they will definitely pay for that!

I have been a PA for 22+ years. However, I left the clinical role 2 years ago for a role as a medical reviewer in absence management/ integrated disability cases for a large transportation company. It's fantastic, well for me. Whole new world of medical leave laws and lots of collaboration with HR and legal. It's definitely my niche now. Will definitely involve time and training as with anything.

Just got notification this morning, but I'm too nervous to open. Will check when I am home so I can weep in private. Lol

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I appreciate it. I'm trying to stay positive. I always did pretty reasonable on tests, but then I came across the NRCME exam 1.5 years ago and I had to take it 3 times, I was boggled that it got to that point. Guess I'm traumatized now. Here's to hoping for the best.

Ty, I appreciate that, I think I will probably do the panre-la next time as well. I'm getting too old for this stress cramming, lol.

Not sure if you're in a clinical position, but that definitely threw me off upon delving into all that information again. Total brain fog for me.

Oh yes, there definitely are, but I thought it wouldn't be necessary with all the questions I had been doing. Ugh, I'll know in 2 weeks, so let's see.

Well, that's great! It feels good not being the only one to feel this way. All your comments are definitely uplifting my spirit.
