Well, I had my interview for the HUC position today. I think the interview went ok. I gave my spiel on how I don't have experience, but hoping they would take my work ethics and dependability into consideration when it comes time to fill the position. I hope you give me a chance. If after a couple months, you feel I am not living up to the expectations of this position, put me back on the floor. I was thanked for my honesty and then taken upstairs to do a test. The test of course was a hodge podge of the HUC responsibilities. Are you kidding me!! I have no idea how to do that stuff and I told them that 10 minutes ago in the interview. I couldn't believe it. There were two diagnoses, which I coded, but the rest was a total bomb! Thank you very much!!!Then, to top it all off, the rehab nurse has been encouraging me since I filled out the application, to hang in there, I still was in the running. I made the first cut. There were like 30 aps and they weeded them out and gave 10 interviews. Well, well, well! Guess who steps in to take the test when I finished up? That's right. The nurse! She has been helping the HUC(we have two) getting caught up the other day, I asked if she was getting trained in to get her 40 hours in cause her hours were cut. She said "Oh, I already know how to do all this stuff". Can you believe this shit? Sorry, but really!!As you can tell, I've had a tough day. When I went on the floor, I told Jessica( the current HUC), and she said "yeah, but she don't have coding, I wouldn't worry about that". Well, coding consists of looking up a diagnosis in a book and writing the 5 digit code. She's an LPN for Christ sake, I think she can figure it out. Unreal, I better get off here. Just thought I would let ya all in on my job status. So, Lu, do you see what I'm talking about when I said they don't care around there and I don't even know if I want the job anymore, even if they offered it to me? On a lighter note, the MDS nurse(she does the billing and coding now and wants to get out of the coding part) asked me how I did on the test and I told her I botched it up pretty bad and she asked me about it. I told her what I had done, and she said I did it right. So, maybe I didn't do as bad as I thought. But the rehab nurse has got me puzzled. Don't ya think she would take quite a pay cut to drop to this position? When I seen her taking the test, I said "you're applying for this?" She said, " I probably won't get it, I just figured I would apply. Try something different for a while". Something different? She knows how to do this, so what's different? Unless, she plans on doing both. I just can't believe this day. They told me they plan to wrap this up early next week and make a decision by the end of next week. It's been two weeks already since I applied, what's another 10 days of this waiting for a simple yes or no. I'm done ranting and raving now, at least on here. Thanks for listening, as if you had a choice huh? Good night. I'm guessing it will be another sleepless night for me. I know I shouldn't get so worked up over this, but I can't help but feel like I'm being played for a fool. But, I'm the one who decided to play. I'm beginning to wonder if the experience is really worth all this??? Maybe I'm getting all worked up over nothing. Maybe I'm imaging all the game playing. Let's all hope my work history stands for
A W H O L E L O T ! ! !
Yap at ya all later.
