“DONT TELL ME!” is one of my favorites lol 😂
I do the point and everything 🤣
And “e’ pazza” lol

How is it with work life balance? I am a transfer student and I was accepted into FSU BSW program. I was told there would be both online classes here and there, but the classes are generally in person or hybrid. What was your experience like? I’m considering Walden University also because it is solely online.

I canceled a TDIU claim because I didn’t really understand the process and accidentally put in an increase for every condition I have, I withdrew it. I filed a separate claim . that claim then got combined with the TDIU claim even though I withdrew it . I’ve been waiting for to disappear, but now it’s on step 5, weeks ago I called the VA when I noticed the secondary claim was added and they said it is supposed to be still processed. I didn’t have a C&P for it. I did send in evidence like a Nexus letter from my doctor and photos and other statements. it’s worded “at least as likely as not” from my dermatologist. I’m filing chronic uticaria secondary to anxiety and adjustment disorder. So I guess my question is, could I possibly be rated, even though it was mixed into the TDI****U claim?** **

I’m trying to figure out the best path into healthcare and wanted some outside opinions.

Right now, I’m looking at Medical Assisting, EKG Technician work, or Medical Lab Technician (MLT). All of these are either certification programs or 2-year degrees, which feels like a realistic entry point for me.

A counselor I spoke with suggested I consider a 4-year degree in Healthcare Administration, but honestly, that doesn’t sound like a good fit for me. I’ve done behind-the-desk work before (social services, office-type roles), and it just doesn’t work for my mental health or personality. I’m a very active person, I need movement, variety, and hands-on work to stay engaged.

I was a 42A, and I’ve been out for about 8 years now. Over time, I’ve realized I do best in fast-paced, changing environments where I can stay busy and focused.

The counselor actually agrees that healthcare is a strong direction for me based on my assessments (high scores in science and interpersonal skills), but I’m trying to figure out the right level to enter the field.

I want to get my foot in the door, help people, and actually be involved in patient care or lab work..not sitting behind a computer doing mostly clerical or administrative tasks.

We’re meeting again in a week so I can narrow down my decision, but I’d really like input from people already in the field:

Would I be better off starting with something like MA, EKG tech, or MLT if I want hands-on, active work? Or is there a better path I’m not considering?

I also considered sonography, but she basically talked me out of it saying that it was a tricky option to get into because most people don’t even have the opportunity to get into the program and it is really hard to find work after
because it’s so saturated.

EDIT: the fact that a couple of you decided to come on here and analyze a text style rather than actually give sound advice to someone, really says a lot. Who cares if it was AI assisted? Does that really matter in the grand scheme of things? This is exactly what I was thinking last night but due to my insomnia, I was groggy, but at the same time I couldn’t sleep at the moment. I wanted to make sure I didn’t ramble. I wanted to ask this question that has been on my mind for the last two days and hopefully wake up to some sound advice and opinions. But since the conversation wants to turn into whether it was AI driven, this was such a waste of time. Thanks anyway.

About 2 years ago I was denied “NO” for my right and left ankles when I initially filed for my service connective conditions. Since then, I have been granted 50% for pes planus and planner fasciitis. I want to go back to claim both ankles again. do I file as a supplemental or do I file it as a new claim? Chat said to file it as a new claim. But I’m not really trusting that.

Thank you.

Has anyone ever had a favorable claim decision without a C&P exam?
