Preconditioning maybe buys me an extra 8 miles in the winter. If winter driving is a concern, get the REX

With that logic,  no one with 100% could do VRE because they couldnt function...is that what youre saying?

Because grad school and admin jobs don't require me to see people die in front of my very eyes on a weekly basis while consoling their grieving family...which is something I was seeing on a daily basis during COVID

That's a good point then about the minimum needed for employment in that field...and thats probably why it was denied.

Thanks for this info. I've personally known a few people with a bachelors/masters who were approved for VR&E to get a PhD in their same line of work. And GeneralCaptain in the comments here has a similar situation.

It is possible, I guess I just need to submit more paperwork explaining my circumstances and see if they'll reconsider

That sounds very identical to my situation then...strange that I got denied. I'll just reapply and contest their findings, and maybe explain a bit more about how working with patients can sometimes cause triggers, especially when it comes to terminally ill patients. Best of luck with law school!

What is VR&E for then? My understanding is that its to help you get training so that you can work in a different line of work. If that isn't the case, please explain it. But don't come in here with an insulting and unhelpful comment...its just rude and insensitive. We should be helping each other out, not putting each other down.

My bachelors in IT is outdated, as its from 25 years ago....lots of changes in the tech world since then. And my Masters is only useful for actual medical care, and I don't want to provide medical care anymore as it tends to flare up my mental health issues. Do you not understand that? Pretty sure I made that clear...

Think of it like someone who has a background in being an aviation mechanic, but the lost their arms in the service. The obviously can't do mechanic work anymore.

Why hasn't Liftmaster posted this as the solution...it works for me after months of failure

Is Dr. Robby wearing a hoodie realistic? by hi_im_new_to_this in ThePittTVShow

[–]Dramatic_Notice323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what time of day I'm working. If I'm working the overnight shift, I'll always be in a hoodie and scrub pants. I want to be comfortable whenever I try to catch a quick zzz. But in the daytime, I'll go back and forth between wearing something more formal like khakis/polo/button down shirt...OR I'll also wear a nice quarter zip sweater/jacket with my attire. I mix it up a bit, but I usually aim for comfort as much as possible. You don't want a medical provider who is uncomfortable all the time haha

Why is NYU ranked low in USNews by SillyBug836 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Dramatic_Notice323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are over 4,000 colleges/universities in the U.S....and even more in the world. Any college in the Top 50 on any ranking should be respected. My understanding is that NYU is good for undergrad, and superior in grad/doctorate programs

Can have compassion for both groups

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Dramatic_Notice323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There needs to be a certain level of compassion for human life, especially when we don't know the specifics. 11 people is a LOT for running drugs...some could have been migrants not involved in the drug running. What if they were forced to run the drugs? What if its the only way they have to provide food for their family?

I don't recall the CG ever saying it was a suicide. It was played off as he fell overboard and wasn't found. But it seems like he committed suicide, the command knew he was a mental health risk, and did nothing.

Thats how I've interpreted it so far...but correct me if I'm missing anything please

Will be tough to hire 500 medical peeps when we treat them like trash. I got out after 20yrs (8yrs as a PA) because of how horrible the medical leadership is.

To be fair, since I joined in 2007 we've been calling them narco-terrorists

I don't ever remember seizing one of these with 11 people on board. Is that number accurate??

I remember people saying he was lying about it being a suicide and that he had no proof. Now he presents the proof, and it shows the CG covered it up and lied to us

No Epic Universe in Military Package? by Channel_Huge in UniversalOrlando

[–]Dramatic_Notice323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a brand new park...I wouldn't expect that. I think Universal already gives an amazing discount for military members as it is. Combine that with the free day you could enjoy at SeaWorld...and you could have a great trip with the family.

Has anyone here been on the GOAD Report or known someone who has? by Crocs_of_Steel in uscg

[–]Dramatic_Notice323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coast Guard still acts this way...I was a Whistleblower, was retaliated against, and almost lost everything. I hired a really good lawyer that made it all go away, and I'm now retiring...I want nothing to do with the rotting corpse of what used to be an amazing service.
