I used to be terrified of sepsis charts. Now I absolutely love them. 9/10 times when the patient has sepsis, there's my pdx. And the source of the infection is usually an automatic MCC too. Love those charts.

I used to be terrified of coding CABG or heart cath charts. Now that I know what I'm looking at, I love them. 9/10 times the procedure note is really easy to interpret and I can nail the coding.

I'm a little over a year into coding now and it's the best feeling in the world when things start to click and feel natural. What I love about coding is most days I feel like I still don't know anything, but every now and again I'll be coding something and be like "wait! I know how to do this?!" Very gratifying.

I can't wait for that to happen with spinal procedures bc I'm still so lost with those 😬

Hi everyone,

I burned my hands two weeks ago smothering an electrical fire with a blanket. I have never experienced anything like this and I'm just extremely humbled and grateful it wasn't worse.

They are second degree burns, my left hand much worse than the right (naturally I'm left handed 😭)

The burns were debrided in the emergency department. They instructed me to apply silvadene and replace the dressings daily.

I've been doing that and I feel they have been healing well. At my first follow up they said I could stop dressing the right hand (I think the fire barely touched that hand, it's many small 1 cm or less burns scattered across top of my hand).

For my left hand, in the beginning the wound used to soak through the gauze and there would be brown crust. Now when I remove the dressing there's just a couple yellow dots. When I touch the new skin the majority of it doesn't feel "open" anymore. It just feels thin and vulnerable.

At what point can I remove the dressings? I'm aware I'd have to still keep it moisturized. I don't have a follow up at the wound center for another couple weeks. My last appointment was on Thursday and she said I was healing well and we could push my follow up to two weeks.

My hope is that I am in the clear and I can end up cancelling that appointment. I'm swamped at work and I've already missed quite a bit due to this.

And I just want to be able to wipe my you-know-what again 🤣

I hear you're supposed to keep your resume to one page. In order to save space, I'm considering only including my current job under "experience" and going into greater detail about my duties, skills, and metrics. My previous jobs were in the same industry, but otherwise not relevant to the jobs I'm looking at. Am I correct that it would be a waste of space?

This would leave more space for a summary, and skills/certifications section where I can add information that I feel would be more relevant to recruiters/hiring managers than my other work experience.
