1. Are We Too PC?

   PMHNP10 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   I'm certain I'll offend but here goes. Society is like a person with a borderline personality in that things are black or white and shades of gray do not exist. The pendulum swings too far in one...

2. Nurses smoking weed?

   Actually the constitution states the fed laws supersedes state--article 6 supremacy

3. Allnurses needs nurses

   PMHNP10 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Most unfortunate if this is still happening. Wasn't good then; isn't good now. ok so I'm intrigued. Are they posting pics or are we talking ugly like someone being ugly? I must try to find this...

4. Allnurses needs nurses

   PMHNP10 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I was triggered by your post and felt the need to respond as a good triggerin' is apt to do. I joined a bunch of years ago ('03 I believe) and was pretty active until around 2010. If memory serves my...

5. Hmm...that's nice

   PMHNP10 replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   interesting question. Unfortunately I had the experience of 4 months of visiting my daughter in the NICU and I did mention I was a NP just as a way to relate to those taking care of my daughter. I...

6. What makes you say/think "it was a good shift?"

   PMHNP10 replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

   C'mon, you were asked what makes a good day, not to detail your wildest fantasy. For me a good day is simply that each of my clients show up on time and I do not fall behind. A great day is that a...

   I have a cure--abolish each and every one of these scourges or our educational system. See...no test = no anxiety about the

8. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

   PMHNP10 replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

   Winry I think you're on to something. In spite of the popular narrative seen in the media, maybe, just maybe all (or even a majority of all) police officers don't make decisions based on race. The...

9. The Decline of Physicians: Do we really need them anymore in Primary Care?

   PMHNP10 replied to AAC.271's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I don't want to assume, but are OR NPs given full practice independence/autonomy--i.e., can Rx sched II-V without physician oversight, practice without a collaborative or supervisory agreement,...

10. Pendulum Swinging too Far on Pain Meds?

    PMHNP10 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would say it is. The VA I recently left instituted policies where it would almost take a letter from congress to get an opiate and if you were on an opiate, you were likely going to be switched to...

11. Nurses smoking weed?

    PMHNP10 replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what's ridiculous about it--I'd love to find an original research article, but here's a link to a Medscape article on one study indicating there is in fact an increase in violence in...

12. Nurses smoking weed?

    PMHNP10 replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'd only advise caution in general on this--While your employer may not do random drug tests, it is possible that if you were to get a needle stick or other exposure to bodily fluids or some other...

    I don't know that I'd be billing as I'd be working for a company that would take care of the

15. telepsych questions

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a few questions: 1) What do you think of telepsych? 2) What should one expect for reimbursment? Revenue split? Hourly (what rate)? 3) What should one look for/expect from the telepsych...
