Thanks for the support and constructive additions gentlemen.
They are hearing my second appeal, which is based off of changing careers. I don't know if they'll accept this one or not, and if they don't I kind of feel like just waiting until I have employment in healthcare.
The thought occurred to me tho, for the previous posters that are happy/glad/joyful that I was denied. Who do you think is going to pay for me to gain these certifications once I'm employed as a nurse? If I go into a Federal position, which I'd like to, Reserve/VA or even active if they will waiver my age...
YOU are going to be the one paying for it, as a taxpayer. Our taxes go to continuing education of gov employees at every level. Furthermore, at almost every level and at almost all organizations, costs to employers (like this) get passed on to the consumer.
So which will you have?
Me pay for it, or you pay for it?Gemini: btw my appeal makes no mention of my struggles/challenges/sob story, other than to say the reason I want to go into behavioral health is to help people and give back.
Edit: I debated about whether to return to this thread, thankfully I did and read what the rest of you wrote; humanity restored
