I am curious how many of us are employed/volunteer in a helping profession. I am a social worker in a level 1 trauma center and notice a lot of other social workers, RN's, medical staff and caregivers on these boards. I feel like I spend so much time helping others, supporting other and empowering others, when I really should be more empowering, helpful and supportive to myself and my needs.

Registered Nurse for over 30 year, worked everywhere from the ER to the OR to homecare and hospice. Currently I'm an informatics nurse and the director of IT for a large homecare and hospice corporation. I always identify first as a nurse, and believe the work I do contributes to the care of many patients, as well as improves the work lives of the clinicians providing that care.

I am a Patient Financial Services Representative. That title has nothing to do with what I actually do.

I obtain benefits, pre-authorizations, & pre-determinations for same day, next day, & future procedures done at our hospital. I am actually on the inpatient team & my sub-group is Plastics/Bariatric.

I love my job. I work at one of the top 50 hospitals in the USA.

Retired Deputy Warden of a state prison. I have a psychology license, too.

Doctoral student in Jewish Studies.

Middle school math teacher. 17 years and counting down.

Investigator

Fraud Investigator for Bank of America.

Retired CNA,CHHA,PBT.... Those of us in health care tend to put ourselves LAST 99.99% of the time because that's all we do is take care of others. Now I'm a full time mommy!

I can't believe there's so many nurses! It does make sense that the majority on here spend their time and energy taking care of others. What a great topic!
