For the past 12 years I've worked clinical in an ER. I left that in May last year. I wanted out of the medical field then. But because that's all I've had for experience (for the most part) I have had a really hard time finding any other type of work. In July 2014 I started this job, at a call center for the biggest medical providers in the city doing scheduling. I didn't mind it at first, except learning to be up during the day was really hard (I've only worked nights for those previous 12 years). Then I got to really know the place...and my boss. #1 I should have known I wasn't going to like the job. I'm not one to just sit. That's why I thrived so well in the ER. It's constant running, always something different every 5 minutes etc. Here I'm stuck at my desk taking call after call after call blah blah blah. #2 The company itself goes against my morals/ethics as far as how patients are treated. I don't feel like they give a damn about their patients. #3 the amount of narcotics that these patients are on is OUT OF CONTROL. It's no wonder there is such a rx drug problem out there. These PCP's are handing out MULTIPLE class II narcotics in high quantities to these people. #4 My boss is the most passive aggressive, fakest person I've ever met in my life. And a horrible manager. #5 With the way the medical field is going I want out even MORE so now that I see how things are on THIS side (the clerical end vs the clinical side). # 6 SO not competitive with the wages. HUGE pay cut vs where I was before.
Fingers crossed though - I was contacted today by two places that I submitted my resume to.....
