Looking to go into my masters with a focus on healthcare administration or healthcare/business development. I have a few years of work experience, but I will need a Master's to get ahead in earning an actual living wage.
Does anyone have any MHA/MBA-Healthcare programs in the NJ/NY area they would recommend or could point to? Thanks!
i’ve been seeing a urologist because I have been getting so many utis. 8 this year - i was being tested for ureaplasma cytoplasma because my cultures were coming back negative. i waited a week after i gave urine to get my results. I had an appointment today where i paid for my previous visit (giving urine) which was 40 dollars. I get told this appointment that they don’t have the results/are unsure where they are and need me to come in again next week. Is there a way to get the 40 back or used towards my next appointment because i basically paid for someone to lose my results.
It feels like 1 giant scam. I went to the urgent care a few months ago because I had real bad digestive symptoms (I'll spare the details.) It turned out to be a campylobacter infection. The process of making that diagnosis was so, so unnecessary. I'm not gonna describe the whole visit, but they kept throwing tests at me left and right.
Lady doctor thought I had appendicitis solely because she rammed her fingers into my abdomen and it caused some mild discomfort and that caused her to dish out a cascade of tests which all came back to show nothing.
If a doctor orders a test out of concern and it comes back negative, the patient should not be responsible to pay for it.
2500 dollars for that pathetic visit which could have been done for a couple hundred bucks tops. Screw that place. I fought with insurance for a while and they got it down to 700 thankfully.
I hope that doctor gets scammed like I did one day.
I work in inventory logistics in a big hospital. Well, I work in the bottom floor in a centralized space, and while delivering supplies, got referred to as “the bottom”
Someone was telling a PCT “You can be nice to the bottom if you want, but you don’t have to.”
Usually I am just condescended at, but every once in a while, I hear things like that, and it is disheartening. Sorry I don’t have enough for nursing school jerk.
Anyone else experience elitism in their respective hospitals?
My employer just got gobbled up by a larger competitor. I didn't think it was possible, but the new company's healthcare options are even worse than my previous employer.
My new employer offers money-in-lieu to help purchase my own healthcare, but I don't think I've *ever* heard of anyone taking that option.
Just hoping for some insight!
