  1. Sports Physicals

    I chose to be involved in doing the physicals. I just to be a very good athlete in my younger years (I know, you can't tell any more). I practiced combat sports since my early teens and until 2-3 years ago, and experienced every injury imaginable. I ...
  2. I met my wife while working at a SNF in AZ. I was extremely impressed with how hard that girl worked the floor and how kind she was to her patients. No play, no games, no flirts. Solid care but also very courteous. I thought she would make a great mo...
  3. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    True. Other than Syria and Iraq (until 3 years ago) Christians were invisible in most Muslim countries. Now they are a de facto target for the Islamists. Just the facts.
  4. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    I am sorry but you have not spend any time studying the Kur'an but rather are repeating the propaganda you hear in the media. The fact is the Islamic societies are the most controlling, repressive, and violent societies on earth. Women and homosexual...
  5. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    Being able to defend yourself is ALWAYS a better option than waiting for a terrorist to just kill you. So yes, by all means, get your CCW and we'll continue to pray that it will not happen again but we all know it may indeed happen again. I have car...
  6. I am not sure about the market in WA for PMHNP. Based on national averages, the "billing" seems excessive for a NP. Most solo practitioners bill around $150K/year and, that has absolutely nothing to do with the reimbursement rate which could be 65-70...
  7. Creighton accelerated nursing program

    HI there! I am a complete transplant from CA and I am never going back, with Heaven's help. I just love it here in NE. I am wrapping up my NP preceptorship in Central NE but had some clinical hours at a surgical center in Omaha. I agree that the nort...

    Thank you all for your feedback and information. Happy New Year to all and continued success.
  10. Foreign trained MD

    In order to become a PA in the US you MUST be a graduate of a PA program in the US. A NP, in the other hand, has significantly more freedom and latitude in practice. All I need is a collaborating physician statement but no supervision or joint liabil...
  11. Foreign trained MD

    I guess I neglected to mention that I have RN certification earned concurrent on my 2nd-3rd year of medical school. FL already validated my credentials. I also took some course work as per the requirements (phamacology, adv. primary care). Just wonde...
  12. Foreign trained MD

    I am a Cuban trained physician. I have 10 years of experience as a Psychiatrist. I am trying to navigate the complicated bureaucracy in the US. Seems that the most likely option is becoming a NP. I am preparing for the exam. Have not decided which on...
