  1. Is this a good new grad NP offer?

    myoglobin replied to AGUS821's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This may be more true than ever right now. Several local agencies have contacted me and offered me $75.00 per hour (in Florida) if I would return to work as an ICU RN. This is more than I was offered...

    myoglobin replied to xtl311's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think California is unusual in this respect and psychiatry. To my knowledge it is the only state that does not require ANCC board cert. to practice as a PMHNP. I would be curious as to what...

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

  7. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My argument is theoretical admitted. However, it is based on evidence that the influenza vaccine seems to help prevent the most severe forms of the flu even when it does not prevent actually getting...

  9. California Is Overriding Its Limits On Nurse Workloads As COVID-19 Surges

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

  14. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People are responsible for their own actions. We live in a free society where we thankfully have the right to believe what we wish. However, that doesn't give anyone the right to unlawfully interpose...

  15. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Believing any theory does not justify criminal acts. One might believe that JFK was not shot by a lone gun man (killed by the Mob, Cuba or others) or that Cheney was part of a plot against 911 or that...

  16. California Is Overriding Its Limits On Nurse Workloads As COVID-19 Surges

    myoglobin replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

  21. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are also those like myself who have already "had" covid and we don't know if getting the vaccine will prevent subsequent infection or mitigate the potentially negative long term negative effects...

  22. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Exactly, they were not powered sufficiently (the trials) to find side effects that are more rare. I'm thinking here of a drug like Vioxx which was discovered to have significant impact on CAD/MI's...

    Also, I don't particularly care if you take me "seriously" much of the time I am attempting to be of good humor. Consider, the last weeks with the loss of Trump and now Congress have been some of the...
