Hello,
I'm a 50+ y/o nurse in CA. I've had progressive spine and ortho issues for which I'm currently on medical leave. I worked with difficult population. My patients were often obese and immobile. My department chronically understaffed with inadequate equipment etc. I recently retained an attorney who is filing a claim for cumulative injury on my behalf. I have never litigated anything in my life so I'm pretty stressed about it. I'm a long term employee with this company, I loved my job. I have a great medical team and my attorney assured me that I can continue treatment with them for now and my group insurance policy will continue to pay. It will not be possible to return to my position as my employer is unable/unwilling to accommodate my needs.
I'd like to hear from people going through similar situations. Tell me...good-and-bad.
