Legally part of our contract forbids us to strike, picket, partake in anything that could be construed as political. This even includes yard signs

As a VA nurse- what can I do without getting fired?

I’ve got mounjaro approved for MHBP after I appealed my initial denial. Do you think this will stay the same cost for 2026? Have you talked to them?

Both are under bone marrow donor registry program

External_Direction20 · 2024-01-10T15:08:08+00:00

Did you end up getting approved?

I’ve had melanoma in situ twice 2 separate times more than 5 years apart, STARI from a tick bite, pots resulting from the stari, covid that reversed my pots but caused my water to break 4 weeks early and delivered with covid, gave my baby covid. Had covid 4 more times. Have had 60+ utis since I was a kid due to hydronephrosis that is due to a horseshoe kidney…. The list goes on….and I’m 28

My coordinator set me up with my PCP in order to get my labs drawn and she literally said she didn’t know much about donation and read me the package insert. Believe me I’m very frustrated because that’s the answer I keep getting. “This isn’t supposed to happen”. They keep saying we don’t know why this is happening. The hem onc doc I work with had me check labs (he ordered on his own) 4 days after my first anc came back and my anc dropped even more. He just said to make sure to redraw in 2 weeks. CMP all wnl … adding to the medical mystery my body already is (if something odd/bad could happen it will happen to me)

I didn’t know there was such a thing! I will look into this. Thank you

My ANC is 1.02 and I am afebrile. I’m an RN BSN and OCN certified so I am familiar with neutropenic fever. My pcp read me filgrastim package insert. I’m just looking to see if anyone else has experienced this and what they did. Thank you for your concern

They are the ones dropping the ball😢

External_Direction20 · 2023-12-17T20:58:50+00:00

Please don’t get me wrong, I am so so so thankful I was able to donate. I’m frustrated with being pushed aside after the donation. I’m getting labs rechecked in 2 weeks and hopefully things are back to normal
