   curiousMD replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks! It's only 2.5 years old and was just me. Now there's a total of 10 providers. We more than quadrupled our suite. And we're teaching students here too. We're all super grateful and thank you to all of you guys who followed the thread :)!!

2. Hiring an RN into private practice

   curiousMD replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

   Appreciate the response. Anyways this is an old thread and I've long established longterm employees. My office now does offer retirement, insurance, dental vision and more thanks to the growth and something called, good management. Oh, and it's more ...

   It's definitely gone down. In my area it tends to be 10k at the most but a lot of insurances have brought it down to 3-5k for the full 36 sessions.

4. Just got the passive aggressive CC email. Advice please!

   curiousMD replied to SNAMATT's topic in General Nursing

   I thought that "To" meant people you are engaging in direct conversation with and "cc" stands for carbon copy. So if this was like paper letters, you'd send postage to the "to" people and the "cc" people get sent a copy. I always interpreted as CC me...

   That is also a drag and it ruins things for those who are motivated.

   curiousMD replied to FengYan's topic in Recovery

   My thoughts, but I can't say for sure that as far as HIPAA is concerned, your medical records can't be accessed without your consent. I can only speak from my licensing as a physician and getting jobs as a physician but RNs may be subject to a simila...

7. Serious Mental Illness: How Can We Help?

   curiousMD replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

   As a psychiatrist, I cannot emphasize a holistic approach enough. There's such a mentality of "there's a pill for that" that all parties are guilty of. Good quality therapy as well as other lifestyle factors are powerful augmenting agents and minimiz...

   Interestingly risk of a seizure from TMS versus from taking an antidepressant, the latter is actually higher. And that's if you include the TMS seizure cases from TMS experimental days, people who were drinking heavy but not disclosing that, and the ...

9. Hiring an RN into private practice

   curiousMD replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

   I'm actually very supportive of this. Actually, I can think of two RNs who went into recovery and were recruited into private settings. Both loved it and did well, both actually decided to stay, moved up in the clinic and assumed additional admin dut...

10. Hiring an RN into private practice

    curiousMD replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    That is so tremendously sweet! If only we lived near each other. Bill (the RN I spoke about) and you sound like you'd make a great team :). To bugya90, balance indeed. Everyone has different needs and are in different stages in life. I could join a l...

12. Hiring an RN into private practice

    curiousMD replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks HelloWish! Since I'll be at the clinic 4 days a week, I was thinking of hiring a tech to do treatments during times I am in the office. I'll be seeing patients, to help generate more income for the practice and I'd literally be in the next roo...

13. Hiring an RN into private practice

    curiousMD replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    The math is 40 hours a week. At the end of the day it boils down to what 1) works for the prospective employee and what they'd like to do (in my practice in psychiatry, I see a lot of retired professionals go on to do other lines of work, not for the...

    curiousMD replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. That is actually really helpful. I only recently got that news from my attorney and am awaiting a response where I've proposed other staff I can hire without exposing unnecessary liability. In the meantime, I wanted to get an id...

    I don't think anywhere in that post I specifically said you were thinking anything. Or referencing my work. I was actually referring to this humorous post below.
