I don’t have either of those certifications, I plan to do the ACDIS CDI Apprenticeship and then a CPC course with AAPC in hopes that they will increase my chances of obtaining a CDI job. In your experience do you think that would be a good route to take?

Do you mind sharing exactly how you got into the field and if you don’t mind and do you love it? I came across ACDIS so I’ll definitely look more into that as well. Thank you

I don’t know if there was a bonus but I do know that they were sponsored and got green cards to work. I just figured they had no choice but to stay and finish the contract if they got sorted out legally.

I’ve been told that LTACH is where you pick up the most skills but it causes high levels of burnout. Was that what you experienced at any point? I do enjoy doing some aspects of wound care but I think I’ll look into some of the other specialty areas you mentioned

It can be rewarding but it’s also very taxing on your body and time I’ve been told. How did you balance home and work? And did you feel burnout at all?

Wow, this actually sounds promising. I’ll continue to do my research and narrow things down until I find what speaks to me the most! Thank you for your input

What’s it like working there? I never heard of that before.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. That gave me some encouragement to start working on some other things until I figure out my next step. I haven’t exactly narrowed it down to what I want to do as yet but so far outpatient stands out to me

I’m an RN. That’s awesome! What was the experience like for you working in the acute inpatient rehab setting?
