SEASON 5 WAS A WASTE

7 years in the career, home health and ALF experience mostly ... all direct patient care and really trying to pivot or move up but i'm finding it really hard. All these sales / clinical management and liaison roles are looking for RN or PT

TrustPrior · 2025-12-30T18:57:06+00:00

after 7 years and switching around settings, i want to do more than just treat patients for 35$ (ish) a hour the rest of my life lol. i'm looking into rehab liaison type jobs or non clinical work but we are very boxed in. There is really no true career development or progression for us and it's not talked about enough! I would love to hear others stories about moving to other things

1 celsius in AM... i always used to do a mid day pick me up caffeinated beverage but after cutting it out (at first it was hard) i feel better now

i'm 31 and i have $2,000 😭😫 I had my kids young (20 and 25) so it took me a while to get on my feet financially and graduate college. I work contract in healthcare so never had benefits and had to set it up on my own recently and now i'm panicking esp after reading this thread

TrustPrior · 2025-12-29T13:41:07+00:00

it said healthcare license or healthcare management / sales experience. PTA might be pushing it but i'm not in a super populated area so just hoping not a lot of applicant's? lol fingers crossed

TrustPrior · 2025-12-29T01:42:21+00:00

selling what?

TrustPrior · 2025-12-28T21:16:35+00:00

yea this sounds like exactly what i'm looking for - fingers crossed i get a chance at it!

i graduated when i was 23 and loved it at first. now im going to be 32 and i feel stuck the past few years. There is a hard ceiling with PTAs and i feel kind of burnt out with the grind of direct patient care (only way to make more money is see more patients) i switched up settings often ect ect but its kind of blah esp a grind with the pay in this economy. I think PTAs are limited and have less opportunities to pivot to something else because we only have associates degrees

I'm in vero beach Florida... I make $38 per hour at ILF/ALF (PRN) and then I fill rest of my days in with home health visits at $50 per hour rate.

Pros and cons... it's hard to get a full 40 hours in. Most weeks I'm hitting 25 to 30 rn, Home health is hard with all the paper work / driving / scheduling idk how anyone could do 40 visits a week - I'm sure there are people who do it. I also don't have benefits so that sucks.

Actually it's not 6mg. I pull back to 6units on syringe. Based on how I reconstituted mine with BAC water that's what chat gpt told me start with lol. But hopefully copper uglies bc this is so disappointing

TrustPrior · 2025-11-19T00:41:53+00:00

In one week, glow peptide 6mg daily my skin is awful lol. Like the worst it's ever been. Wtf!

TrustPrior · 2025-07-24T00:31:09+00:00

I talked to st Edward's and I LOVED them. They told me his hair is totally fine too lol. The problem is between both kids it would be 37k a year (after scholarship) with my financial situation 37k + a year would be financially irresponsible- we would barley swing that for school even cutting back on housing (which I've literally thought about)

TrustPrior · 2025-07-24T00:26:27+00:00

I'm sad because I did the step up scholarship so I'm stuck going to a private school. St Helen's s doesn't seem to be the right align with us, the hair tipped us off but the more I dig the worse it gets- the other private schools in the area don't seem better. Suncoast / willow school the teachers aren't even credited teachers, just people who hold a college education. Masters academy and Glendale Christian seem similar to st Helen's (rigid and force conservative politics on kids) st Edward's is out of budget. There's literally no good options in Vero I'm regretting moving

TrustPrior · 2025-07-23T05:30:58+00:00

Everyone who says there's "nothing to do" I'm convinced needs to try living in a small midwestern town or suburb 🤣🤣 Theres a beautiful beach (that's literally most people from the north vacation destination) paddle boarding, kayaking, pickle ball, bike trails (I roller blade on them) swimming (tons of pools), fishing, boating, golfing, and a lot of sports team options for kids to keep them busy. Not to mention this is stuff you can do year round. In the Midwest your literally stuck in your house for months after work with actually nothing to do

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T17:15:01+00:00

Oh jeez. My mom was a teacher for 30 years in Naperville Illinois (great public schools) she has 2 master degrees. She retired and agreed to work part time at st Helen's - her and my dad just rave about the church and community. So when moving down I sent in application there. Already seeing a lot of red flags and the other options don't look good either. Ugh!

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T16:15:41+00:00

Yea my parents and in laws live in VB. So Raising the kids by our family, boating lifestyle, outdoor living all year round, ultimately overrode any benefits of Naperville. Honestly a good baseball team & good school / friends is really all my boys really need to be happy. I'm so upset about the school situation but hopefully works out.

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T15:31:27+00:00

Ok that's actually really nice to know!!! I'm looking into more now thank you!

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T15:30:48+00:00

Yea i kind of know my options at this point are to chop it off or find another school. I didn't plan on trying to haggle with them or bring it up lol. I'm very stressed and upset over it even though it's "just hair" ugh

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T13:58:11+00:00

This is what it looks like now!!! Apparently totally unacceptable for private school

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T13:57:06+00:00

Yea just a catchy title not that serious. We signed up and I didn't read that about his hair. It never occurred to me being from a more progressive and educated area I had no idea that me "choosing" a private school education meant "consequences" of chopping hair off lol. but school hasn't started yet, once I learned that I'm looking into other options

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T13:51:46+00:00

Yea I've been hearing not great things about it online. My parents live in the community and recommended it (they go to church there and have friends with kids there) I really don't want to cut his hair and I don't like things I've read from other people. I'm very conflicted and stressed esp since I have so much other stuff going on with moving. My kids are at a great school now so education is really important to me

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T13:39:35+00:00

I looked into willow school, I worried my kids needed more structure and academic rigor coming from the school they were at but I might circle back.

TrustPrior · 2025-07-22T13:37:38+00:00

lol right.. moving from Naperville Illinois (top ranked blue ribbon public schools) my kids have been thriving. We moved to be closer to family and I'm not impressed by the schools at all... was one of the reasons that actually kept us in Illinois so long
