1. Health Care and Contraception: Did the Supreme Court Get It Right?

   Othernothing replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   Why should I care what government groups think about the "benefits of effective family planning'? And surely you mean the benefits of contraception, not the benefits of actually planning to have a family. But ok, the fact that I don't personally ca...

2. Health Care and Contraception: Did the Supreme Court Get It Right?

   Othernothing replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   I actually doesn't apply to all. Just because the AP decides to report such an opinion doesn't mean they are accurately representing the Supremes' decision. I assume you mean that a precedent has been set; that soon we will have all forms of birth ...

3. Health Care and Contraception: Did the Supreme Court Get It Right?

   Othernothing replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   Look, I am really sorry that it may seem like some kind of personal attack and I don't mean it to be at all, but I take issue with "horrifying" being used to describe what you evidently view as ignorance. Those who are ignorant about something deser...

   Othernothing replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   Estrogen-progestogen combinations act primarily through the mechanism of gonadotropin suppression due to the estrogenic and progestational activity of their components. Although the primary mechanism of action is inhibition of ovulation, alterations ...

   Looking over my above posted response to the question posed I see quite a few errors (abhorable, sic). I'm leaving them. We're all human, all flawed, and I have no desire to pretend I am incapable of error in my writings or my opinions.

   You know these questions are flawed, right? First, no one is imposing a religion on anyone. I haven't heard anything about anyone trying to convert employees to evangelical Christianity. Paying for your own birth control because your evangelical ...

   You bring up a good point. I didn't think to ask about turnover or how he views collaboration. Will do that next time!

9. Collaborating physician problems

   Othernothing replied to Othernothing's topic in NP

   I just want to add, as if it isn't obvious, that I am just in a panic now. I don't want to go into the clinic this week knowing that Friday my doc and the om will hit me with this PIP that SOMEHOW others knew about before I did. I'm back to thinking,...

10. Collaborating physician problems

    Othernothing replied to Othernothing's topic in NP

    Blue devil, thanks. I learned through the grapevine I'm going to be given a PIP this coming week, which means 1st step to getting fired. He's had 3 different NPs in the past, each staying around 2 years. Why do companies put up with docs who can't ke...

    Othernothing replied to Othernothing's topic in NP

    TheOldGuy..thank you!! I'm so glad I found this site. I've been afraid to even discuss this with NPs in my local group, thinking everyone would just assume I must be doing poorly or I wouldn't encounter so much criticism. I need a place where I can f...

    Othernothing replied to Othernothing's topic in NP

    I'm a she. Anyway, I feel some type of residency would be preferable. I was always in the top of my class, but there are situations we just couldn't cover. For example, I recently found a urachal remnant on a guy. A what!? Was my first thought. I was...

    Othernothing replied to DrZaphod's topic in Doctoral

    I'm looking at Vanderbilt and Saint Louis U. Both have DNP and post masters in psych and you can apply to combine.

    Othernothing replied to Othernothing's topic in NP

    Thank you slyfoxrn! I have been internalizing his every criticism and I've even had to see a psychiatrist over it! I feel I've allowed him to make me feel so low and so inept. I appreciate you taking the time to answer me, as I no longer trust my own...

    Othernothing posted a topic in NP

    I'm new here..this is my first post. I really don't know where else to turn, so I found all nurses and thought I'd give it a try. I have been working as an FNP in a rural clinic. From day one I was on my own. If I ask a question, he will say, "If yo...
