Registered Nurse for over 30 year, worked everywhere from the ER to the OR to homecare and hospice. Currently I'm an informatics nurse and the director of IT for a large homecare and hospice corporation. I always identify first as a nurse, and believe the work I do contributes to the care of many patients, as well as improves the work lives of the clinicians providing that care.

I am a Patient Financial Services Representative. That title has nothing to do with what I actually do.

I obtain benefits, pre-authorizations, & pre-determinations for same day, next day, & future procedures done at our hospital. I am actually on the inpatient team & my sub-group is Plastics/Bariatric.

I love my job. I work at one of the top 50 hospitals in the USA.

Retired CNA,CHHA,PBT.... Those of us in health care tend to put ourselves LAST 99.99% of the time because that's all we do is take care of others. Now I'm a full time mommy!

I can't believe there's so many nurses! It does make sense that the majority on here spend their time and energy taking care of others. What a great topic!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
