busybeingme 112 Posted January 21, 2013 Idk what you do at the hosp. I work at the hosp where I'm getting mine done and I do patient care. I have already spoken privately with my boss because our schedules go in 6 weeks prior. To assure I will be off work. They are aware the date could be moved. I looked at it from the staffing point if view they can plan staffing and you could plan coverage or even alter your schedule. My boss has been great with altering my schedule so I can get all my testing done! I'm being sleeved on march 20!! Feb 20 I will call for my fmla coverage...

busybeingme 112 Posted January 21, 2013 I also work in several hospitals. There is often an option for the hospital to block the records of their employees. For me to view records of an employee' date=' I must go through an extra HIPPA screen which requires me to verify that I am authorized to review the records. The screen gives me a warning that states that if I continue my information will be reviewed for having accessed the records. Talk to the HIM staff and see if there is something they can help to protect your private information.[/quote']My hospital has this we call it broken glass... That's what I'm doing for my procedure to keep my Info private. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
new_me2013 41 Posted January 21, 2013 I too work in the hospital where I will be sleeved. I waited to tell my manager I would be out for surgery until after I had my date & had made all my pre op arrangements & had an expected return date set. I then let hr know & lastly filed my dbl/fmla claim.. I have not to my manager what I'm having surgery for, but some of my coworkers do know & if asked I will tell the truth.
