I was outside today with my rottweiler and was staring at the beautiful sky.
I love being outside most of the time, rather than being cooped inside an office or work environment. I think I might have found something I enjoy, what could be considered outside work and enjoying nature.
If you have test anxiety, definitely figure that one out should you continue on the BSN/RN path. The NCLEX is no joke - my daughter recently passed it and spent 5-6 hours a day studying for it with a schedule, including study packages she bought. One such package dealt with test anxiety. So, if you want to be a nurse, itâs not just nursing school but clinicals and the NCLEX.
True My schedule is a roller-coaster. Especially when tutoring two kids in mathematics. Tutoring them the long way and the short way. Long way is when you have to do everything by the book, the short way is when you officially master everything from A to Z. You can easily exploit mathematics at will and solve problems quickly.
I wanna make sure they donât end up like I did in elementary school where I was left out and never properly taught the subjects. After self teaching my self many years of multiple subjects.
After years of practice, It was time for me to redeem my self and get vengeance on every math topic and pass all of them which I did I feel happy and free now.
Thanks for the NCLEX tip, I know itâs no joke on the egg yolk But I can pass it, I just need to slow my thought and brain down not to panic. Just like the math pre calculus course I took we had 30 questions and 45 minutes to answer them. Very long mathematical steps, I slowed my emotions and anxiety down to move quickly.
My legs feel much better now. Who ever made a reply saying I needed exercise props to them.
I started to leg press at the gym and after a week, I started jogging I can feel the muscles in my legs Also brought the Rottie too run with me, good exercise companion too, want him to exercise.
Itâs like first time working you will feel sore and tired, after you get use to the physical activity, you will become use to it
If a person works as a nurse and they bring a documented paper, saying this person canât lift heavy objects. Will they accommodate that?
I hurt my back again lifting a heavy object , Iâm laying down in bed while I type this.
Spoke to two advisors they told me that would be a violation of âAmericans with Disabilities Actâ If there was no accommodation, donât know itâs if true or not.
Itâs my understanding that if the job says that an essential function is to lift a certain amount (50lbs, etc) and you cannot do that essential function then you are not protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
At this point, you have too many health issues to pursue a career in nursing, in my opinion. Every time you turn around, you have some other malaise.
ETAâŠyou edited your query after some replies. This can be very confusing when one is trying to answer a question.
If you canât DO a task a job requires, the ADA wonât grant you accommodations to get that job.
If you already HAVE a job in nursing, you would be able to apply for disability if you couldnât do a required task for that job.
Why are you even asking about what will happen IF you get a nursing job? Right now, you canât even complete the required coursework for a nursing degree.
I had to edit some stuff due to me forgetting to add more details.
I just wanted to know if itâs possible to get an accommodation with provided documents I have not yet finished my nursing degree. But will soon hopefully.
Maybe I should list all my conditions especially having a right eye thatâs blurry. Even with prescription glasses itâs still blurry but left eye is sharp.
I suggest you either pursue another profession or seek out other things you can do if you do finish your nursing degree (ex. claim consultant at a medical insurance company, medical biller to name a couple of ideas).
Came back from my psychologist. You can stop asking me to see a professional I already did.
She told me if youâ donât straighten out youâre medical issues, youâll never be able to pursue success.
I told her I donât want to be treated differently if I apply for accommodation for a certain task. She replied thereâs no shame in the game. No need to be terrified of hiding medical issues, thereâs way to heal and get help for those areas that can be treated.
Hiding my medical issues was not a good idea. If I kept hiding them and I was at work, I could actually end up injuring my self even more. Iâm not made out of steel or have an immune body thatâs capable of withstanding anything.
You have recently experienced 18 debilitating illnesses that your doctor attributes to a depressed immune system because of fatty food consumption, back pain that rises to the level of a disability, foot pain so severe it impacted your career path and severe and persistent vision impairment.
You are currently 30 years old, a parent and responsible for a very large dog. You have failed to be able to complete several requisite classes and been advised by your academic advisor to return to CC. You previously sought a career as a dentist, anesthesiologist, or dental hygienist have as you described the varied interest of Aristotle, and want to retire between the age of 35-40.
Academically you have not completed your nursing degree but based on consultation with both doctors and psychologists you are now planning on continuing down that path in expectation of requiring work accomodations once (a big if) you are credentialed to be a nurse.
Based on this fact pattern I think your are pursuing a path that you have proven academic, physical, mental and resource limitations that will preclude your ability to succeed. I think you should share the totality of your circumstances (all in one sitting) with any of your professional advisors and listen in totality to their advice versus cherry picking comments that reinforce what you want to hear. You need professional help.
The same can be said for mental health challenges. There is absolutely no shame in getting help.
All I want is an accommodation for any job, due to heavy lifting, I have the doctors papers to prove it. Or I should not work if they donât give me accommodation.
Maybe Itâs to late for me to pursue a career. If I was working and got sick, I would be out for 3 weeks full and not easily loose my position.
Why would you pursue a job that requires heavy lifting? Why should an employer hire someone for a role that requires heavy lifting who has a limitation on their ability to lift heavy objects?
The other day you were outside walking your large RottweilerâŠhow do you pick up its poop if your back is in such bad shape. But I digress.
Given your entire narrative I would refer to my prior post of which you opted to only respond to the convenient small portion. Once again donât cherry pick address the totality of what you have shared.
You started the thread to discuss an advisors recommendation to drop a course (turns out 3) and now you are on to work accommodations. Canât get there without considering the entire journey you have taken us on.
Get a job that doesnât require heavy lifting. Thatâs an easy solution. Get a job where you arenât on your feet 12 hours a shift. Another easy solution. Get a job where you have the skills to actually DO the job.
If the job requires heavy lifting and you canât perform that function then you canât do the job. There is no accomodation, itâs a job requirement.
Similarly, you said you have bad vision in one eye. If a job required perfect vision you wouldnât be qualified. There is no accomodation, itâs a requirement.
I suggest the OP read the Dept of Labor information on Accommodations. It is apparent OP does not understand what a job accommodation actually is. This is from a resource linked on the DOL page which defines âaccommodationsâ in plain language better than the DOL lingo. This paragraph is particularly relevant.
Essential Job Functions: An employer is not required to lower quality or production standards to make an accommodation. Employees are expected to perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodations.
