Put on disability...
Has anyone been put on disability from their job bc they say they can't accommodate their 'restrictions' during pregnancy? A little background...I'm an OR nurse. I'm 8 weeks 4 days today. I got a note from my RE saying I'm not allowed to lift or transport patients (these are patients that are coming out of sedation after surgery and don't wanna get off my OR bed!) so my administrator told me yesterday they can't accommodate this restriction and suggested I go on medical leave, maybe at least til the end of my first trimester. I'm in shock right now. It's nice to sit and do nothing at home for a while, but I obviously won't be getting my normal salary from disability. It would be probably 4 weeks out. I'm in shock. Has this happened to anyone else??
