hey jen, way to go on the lasix. i was gonna say what it was for but ya beat me to it. here's the deal on that class. if i took it, which i decided i aint gonna, i would give up 4 days of work which amounts to roughly $400, the nursing home would pay for the class, which is $399. i in return would have to sign a contract with them saying i will stay employed with them for a year or pay a prorated amount of the class when i leave. if i quit in 6 months i would have to pay them $200. well, lets think about this. i get to give my life to them for a month, lose $400 and can't be guarenteed any cart hours. oh yeah i would only get the extra $1 when i am working the med cart. i have been giving this some serious thought for the last week and decided to wheel and deal a little bit to help me make my decision. i told her yesterday at work that i do not want to sign a contract because as far as i am concerned i'm already paying the $400, i also want the extra $1 across the board or it wouldn't really be worth the stress of taking the class. she said she would take to the big shots and let me know what they say. she called this morning and said they said no. but she really hopes i will consider taking the class cause she really thinks i would be good on it. i said NOPE! this class is offered twice a year and i think i will take it on my own at my convenience. so that's that. i was on line this morning trying to decide which school to go with for my on line stuff. i have a few questions out there and as soon as they email me back i will make my decision and get started. hopefully they will answer me today so i can get this moving. i check the paper occasionally and there are usually billing or coding jobs in there so i'm ready to get started. the other girl that was signed up for the class was undecided also and after i made my speal yesterday(she was there) and got shot down today, she also decided not to go. kathy, what's up with the interview? call me or something. forget i'm gonna call you right now. yap at all later.
