Documentation importance-Donna

[Guest guest]

Donna,

Teaching is a good field. I am also looking at medical coding. With your

experience and mine, you can do coding per diem and if you have classes in

anatomy and physiology, medical terminology etc it would

help.

I feel that I will not have to deal with preparing much and you have do this

with teaching. Even though you have summers " off " you have to attend seminars,

mandatory faculty meetings. lesson planning, grading, reports, after school

activities etc.

So teaching is an option but time consuming. I used to audit when I

was in the Reserves and I liked it so my doctor and I are looking at

this in a year. I have disability and social security and so afraid if I try to

go back to work and can't I will lose it.

So I am still in the mindset I must work but I cannot even stand for an hour.

I hope that you have a good settlement. It took me six months. You

can file for social security while waiting on your workman's comp and

they will deduct.

Keep good records-just as if you are a patient you would do nursing

notes. ADL (active daily living) and mental status are very important

to document.

Please go ahead and contact social security and see what they say.
