In Reply to: Heartland... now what do we do? - NiceGirl

I was part of the first group to be laid off nearly three years ago from Heartland. I would love to be a fly on the wall when the lovely Ms. Neidert gets her come uppings. I may well be in a position to help some of you if you are willing to transcribe. I have no QA positions available at the present time. God knows, the platform is far superior to what you are used to. Please email me if I can help as I know exactly how you are feeling at the moment. This is acute care, a great account, excellent benefits are available for full time and schedules are relatively flexible. This is employee status and really a solid opportunity. Send me a resume and an email.

I was devastated. It was just before Christmas. As it turns out, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. You may not feel that today but you soon will.
