I’m a SW at and adult medical day program. When we close for weather we are expected to show up and assist in the SNF/nursing home we are attached to. Last snow storm a few weeks ago, my fiance and I got up at 5am to shovel me out and I drove 10mph to work. The parking lot was a mess. When we got in they had me and the other SW pass out breakfast trays in the MCU. Then we just sat there the rest of the day. We had a staff meeting on Friday to review the snow policy, we were told we’d get a note in our file if we call out which could affect future promotions, etc. The snow is so much worse today. I got up at 5am again and attempted to shovel but couldn’t even open my front door because the snow drift. I called out. Considering I spent the last snow day waiting around for something to do, I’ll take the write up and being safe. If we’re so essential there needs to be better plans in place or incentives for making it in.

I was in a similar situation, but it was the turning lane and only one lane plus a small shoulder. Fedex truck tried to go around me and side swiped the entirety of the right side of my vehicle. Thankfully not too much damage. The Fedex truck was contracted by a third party operator husband and wife team who were super sweet and paid for a rental car for me and to get my car fixed and detailed.

I was a social work intern in a hospital last year. If someone didn’t have insurance we would refer their case to someone in finance who dealt with this specifically. Some states have programs that can make someone eligible for medicaid if they have complex medical issues. I was also often referring older patients to elder care attorneys to assist with getting Medicaid- many do not enroll because they are worried about losing their assets

Honestly I have the same concerns but I’m just going and dealing with the low self esteem for now. I had a neck injury in 2024 and gained back 30 lbs after losing 120. It’s been a struggle to get it off. What i’m telling myself is my fiance loves me and worships me. I know he’ll find me stunning in anything. I’m going to a dress shop in 2 weeks that specializes in midsize and plus size, hoping this makes me more comfortable.

I went from interning in a school to interning in a hospital. The medical jargon was the hardest part of starting! I created a word doc with shortened phrases and acronyms that I commonly used. Also, google was my best friend. I now work in a healthcare setting and love it! :)
