Does this make sense?

So I study and take all required courses for 2 years, pass my cert test , get a job and work for 9 months at same agency and then replaced by an LVN who has never done coding??? So why did I waste my time? (

Ugh! That is discouraging, to say the least. So sorry to hear this. NO, it doesn't make sense, especially since it looks like the training for LVN does not include medical coding. Hopefully, something much better than what you had comes along for you quickly.

That is very odd. It sounds to me like they needed an clinician. It also sounds to me like a place that will be up for audits in the future so you will be glad you are not there. The time you have put in will pay off. Start marketing yourself. LinkedIn is a great place to start. Always put on that professional face and manner. Say positive things about where you were before even if you are hard pressed to do so. "It was a learning experience."
