I’m a bit hesitant to apply anywhere as it’s been quite a while working. Due to epilepsy diagnosis caused by a drunk driver. I’d lost my academic honors Medical Assistant career from Pima Medical Institute. They’d not even helped me find a job! I was asked yrs after to work even while having epilepsy after saving many lives at a psychiatric hospital I wasn’t supposed to be at. Mistakenly sent there by UCSD nurse over phone. She wasn’t listening to my call; she automatically call 911 & sent the EMS & police to get me sent to a facility that was well known to have highest rating in Southern CA for deaths & Medical Negligence. I know as I’d had many relatives & friends that had loved ones pass on there unnecessarily. When I had gone there; I ended up saving many lives of suicidal people & saved a man who was beaten by a violent patient. Staff’s negligence left him lying on floor. I had to make do w/ what was around me. Ice & washcloths. Kept him awake & checked for any broken bones, tried to tell staff but still they refused to acknowledge the situation telling me to leave them alone. They’re busy having a meeting. (Sitting down laughing & lallygagging) Was sad. So I had helped the psychiatric patients believe in life & not suicide. When psychologist reviewed me he asked, “Wth, are you doing here? you’re perfectly normal! I told him the issue of UCSD not comprehending my call of daughter’s new psychiatrist giving me Rx & she’d given me it as well. I stopped the Rx due to signs of suicidal ideation 2 days before. I do not believe in suicide. My daughter had issues due to a person she met online. Attempted it so she was given an Rx. It’s a financial incentive for these “MDs” to give prescriptions; albeit not much however they still get something. My daughter refused to take it unless I did. I didn’t want to her harm herself so I had to. I called my Mds office to tell them of the issue but just wanted assurance it will not happen again. The lady automatically sent them to me. That is why I had ended up at Paradise Valley Hospital Psychiatric Ward. It was painful & unnecessary as they’d neglected to give me insulin during my stay. I starved entire 3 days I was there. Jabbed w/ syringes filled w/ sedatives I asked not to be given as I’m allergic. To pls look at my medical records. They cursed at me 4x’s to “Stfu”. Was very unjustifiable/horrific. However, I survived & still saved the patients in there. Helped them believe in life. Staff I helped in there cried when I got courage to sing & tell the patients about life & not suicide. They listened. That’s when I began teaching them all. I helped the staff w/ beds, checking blood pressure, etc. I did not eat for the 3 days I was there due to their medical negligence. I was released since Psychologist said I didn’t belong there whatsoever. Called the individual in charge of hospital to report the people working that harmed me so that they will not harm others w/ injections that could kill them due to allergic reactions. I did end up limping from allergies from the shots given in left thigh & right arm. Embraced the staff members I helped & all the patients who cried & begged me not to leave. The patient whose life I saved asked me to be his caregiver. Told me my family and I could live in his home since we were about to be homeless since we’re disabled & struggling w/ finding home to live in. He was a previous 2x lung cancer patient. Was difficult to comprehend him yet I still do my best to help anyone & everyone on the streets in need of help. To me, we are ALL brothers and sisters. We should help one another and be kind. Treated with respect and kindness. 💯% I always follow through with everything & listen to all that is told to me.
Are you going to ask for a raise!
Here is a tip of what NOT to bring up during your Salary Negotiations.
That Other Employees Make More Than You!
Discussing salary in the workplace among other employees is typically a no-go and something companies discourage in their policies. Therefore, it should never come up while you’re discussing your raise.
In fact, don’t compare yourself to anyone else during the negotiations, because your salary is based on your performance. Stick to your accomplishments and have the data to back it up. #AWU #disability #jobs #salary

A Reminder about Remote Work!
If you're seeking Remote Work, it's important to know what warning signs to look out for. Remember this one unwritten rule.
It's not uncommon for companies to impose certain requirements for their remote workers. You may find a perfectly legitimate job that requires you to have internet and phone access at home, for instance.
But the one unwritten rule to follow in the context of remote work is that you shouldn't have to pay to work.
For example if you are told you need to purchase specific equipment such as a new computer and then mail it to the company so they could install the proper software, you should immediately became suspicious. Most likely, it is a Scam! #AWU ##disability #jobs #remotework
