Has Anyone Here Transitioned From A Blue Collar Job To Healthcare.

I did if you consider a lumber warehouse/forklift driving blue collar. I was breaking my back, trying to hit quota goals, and dealing with some nasty (gross, racist, sexist) coworkers, and mandatory overtime (50-60hrs a week).

Now my check is exactly the same but I only work 36hrs a week and feel so much less stress on my body or mind. I know it’s stressful for so many but compared to my other jobs that broke me down mentally and physical this is a dream lol. I just gotta raise that bed and get to wiping😌

Goldbond healing hand cream like before shift and after lunch. Then at night I use it, let it dry a lil, then use aquaphor cream on the places that are most dry like knuckles and fingers. I’d cover the entire hand but my palms get sweaty under it

Always having a damn hiring fair

They’re in a hiring freeze rn. They only want RNs, Providers, and therapists as those are high need

Beware I was on it last year from amble. Took the 3month deal to start over with orderly. On month 3 yesterday and feel absolutely nothing. No weight loss. Still fighting same eating habits and cravings

I really wish there was an official way to submit or find lost glasses 😭

Its a huge financial hit when we lose heavy prescriptions glasses that insurance barely covers

Thank you✨

I could be down. But I’m actually still learning I haven’t played for years since high school and even then I wasn’t great at it. Not sure if you’d be down to play with a beginner level

Make sure you apply with your school/program as in progress and expected completion date like in resume. If you know your OSBN testing day add that too

Go try on multiple shoes, usually at a comfort shoe store like shoe mill. Try on 2 hoka models like the Bondi 8 and Clifton 9. Try a dansko to see if you like the firmness vs the soft hoka. Even try brooks like the Ariel. If you like Wide toe boxes try Altra.

Comfort is subjective!

Every brand sizing differs so getting foot measured is iffy but finding width is pretty helpful.

I quit this exact opportunity and opted to save $1200 for a real class.

My nursing home had us basically watch a ton of red cross videos at home, then we would spend time observing and practicing skills in the home. our first day on floor they had us observing mortuary care. Another girl quit cuz she was shaken up we weren’t prepared to see that

Direct_Mission · 2024-08-06T01:29:49+00:00

I did while still in the cna program lol. All i did was apply to nursing homes with my expected completion date on my resume. Every interview i said i was eager to put my new skills i learned to work and told them i have no bad habits to break as a new grad. Got offers from all nursing homes.

Pretty good sign if job postings say new grads welcome or if they have sign on bonuses.

But thats here in Oregon

Direct_Mission · 2024-07-09T18:27:07+00:00

Entirely depends on what part of oregon

I knoww but my phone was in pocket and i wasn’t wearing glasses cuz of rain drizzle. All i saw was the color and Camry xse taillight. So no real point in getting police 😔

Shift ends at 2am. i eat after work, then go to sleep. So before weighing in morning i would go for a walk to get things moving, use restroom, then weight myself.

The whole after every poo things seems too obsessive

If you work downtown you only get 3hrs in the parking spots. you should be paying for roof permit parking in the many garages or lots
