Thinking about becoming a school teacher or becoming a NP. Burnt out on patient care nursing and can't find office/desk position that doesn't involve working long hours/working weekends, etc as Don or supervisor because someone always calls out. I applied for a few strictly case management positions but they all said I don't have enough experience in that area. Thoughts? Pros and cons?

I am completely burnt out being a COTA. Caseload is ridiculous 20 pts 7.5hr schedule 5+ notes a day plus daily encounter notes it’s too much. I’m looking to be more behind the scenes and have less pt interaction. Any job suggestions?

Hello, I am in the process of asking for a raise. Is anyone on here a CHT ( certified hand therapist) ? The survey on annual salary for CHTs always depresses me as I am not even in the low category for pay and have been practicing for 14 years and CHT for 5 years. Can I ask what do you think is typical pay for occupational therapist in the setting? I make 37 (rounded up :p) per hour.

Does anyone know what is the average length of time to get a new EHR up and running? My hospital is on the smaller side and it’s going on 5 years for EHR implementation. Seems like an excessive amount of time and waste of money given the cost to IT consultant managing this project.
