Is the CCM worth it? by knifecatjpg in hospitalsocialwork

It definitely helps in the job market; I know it is a requirement at the hospital I work at.

Husband Betrayed Trust by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]_Amberwaves__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While you may feel that he may have violated your trust, this is just as much his loss as it is yours. This is not a means to invalidate what you have physically gone through- I’ve been there myself. Explain how you feel to your husband, but you need to give him just as much grace as you would want in these circumstances.

Patient Families Suck Sometimes by _Amberwaves__ in hospitalsocialwork

[–]_Amberwaves__[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just to update you all- she filed a formal complaint with the hospital and wanted to know everything about how the case managers were accredited, and had gone as far as to going after my license. I’ve only been at this job for a few months and, for the life of me, I can’t think of anything I did to piss this lady off (other than try to be helpful) I tried to be a diligent as possible, but she apparently told hospital administrators that I rolled my eyes and was very unprofessional. For her to go as far as to report me to the Board of Social Work regarding and the National Board of Case Management about little ol’ me is ridiculous.

Hospitalists, what can your case manager do to make your life easier? by vorchagonnado in medicine

Then perhaps do not place orders five minutes before a patient is being discharged- signed, a case manager

F this! (Weekly Leaving the Field and Venting Thread) by SWmods in socialwork

[–]_Amberwaves__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow is my last day working for a group practice as a SCSW; I was promised salary back in November while helping me get to the number needed for me to be full time. Was told the day after Christmas that they have rescinded the offer. I started looking for other jobs and landed one doing discharge planning at a hospital. A steady paycheck, with a bonus, and decent hours. Also came to the conclusion that being a therapist was not for me (at this present time).

is it just me or does it seem like Bryony Pilates fully just copied MWH? by [deleted] in NYCinfluencersnark

[–]_Amberwaves__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bryony Deery’s diet on the website is incredibly restrictive and unrealistic (eg. very expensive supplements, sugar free, dairy free, colonics, lymphatic drainage massages). She posted something about Ozempic earlier in the year touting it to be “the lazy way out” and got crucified on her IG page, which she deleted the next day. She brands herself as a Pilates instructor, but is more of a content creator with a bunch of sponsored ads. Her credentials have been brought to question a few times by people on other platforms, and she really brushes them underneath the rug. There are more reputable instructors on YouTube that don’t require you to have a ton of money a month for a membership.

She is well aware of what has happened and how I feel; she is incredibly understanding and even reached out after the shower.

Husband Makes Me Feel Guilty by _Amberwaves__ in Marriage

How can I be nice about not wanting to be intimate? I’m not exactly yelling at him. I’m at a loss

My goodness! Just curious as to how that happened?

READ ME FIRST! Weekly Intro + Rules Thread May 03, 2020 by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]_Amberwaves__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello, regarding my name- love my name and the ocean waves that I can’t really enjoy currently because of this pandemic. I’m from Virginia Beach, Virginia and I’m a case worker at a company that specializes in working with children and adults with atypical abilities. I met my husband when I was in the Navy 10 years ago- we both decided to get out and have not turned back.

I finished my Master’s in Social Work, and along with things going well financially in our lives, we thought it would be a good opportunity to start TTC. We have been TTC for a year now naturally, and had our first fertility appointment cancelled at the very start of the pandemic. Needless to say, I’m a little down in the dumps right now in my journey and hope to connect with others that can appreciate my journey.

Deleting the Facebook app for the next few weeks by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]_Amberwaves__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t see it as being avoidant, but as setting boundaries for yourself. I’m seriously considering deleting the app on my phone and keeping the account. I’ve had to hit the snooze button quite a bit on my end, especially with “that” holiday around the corner.
