  1. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Buying the PS5 would mean buying it from scalpers. I would take ten covid shot in the bum before enriching those SOB's who purchased all the PS5 stock largely with

  2. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    My response is responsive. The OP concerns MD's feeling and speaking poorly about NP's. My response is "who cares" we are winning. Not only that I want to take steps that go far beyond payment models...

  3. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    Also, I engage in continual "point counter point" even with myself as my SO will attest. Perhaps, I need less Battlefield 4 and at least a friend or relative to talk to more than once or twice per...

  4. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, both my parents smoked 2-4 packs per day and I was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis (smoking related) as a young teenager and the MD even told my parents that "you do realize your killing your...

  5. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, I you may have a point on debt forgiveness on student loans being coercion (although I would still take the deal). How about a PS5? For a PS5 I will both take the vaccine and a bit of Trump's...

  6. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I respect your perspective, but I disagree. As for my debt until a year ago I was making 60k with no benefits. Also, I racked up most of my debt (about 130K) on my ASN, BSN and over 300 credit hours...

  7. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    e. Another aspect would be that if we "flood" the market with this approach we will drive average NP compensation up while also driving MD salaries down. This will increase the tendencies for MD's to...

  8. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    Because I am arguing for "structural change" in the way NP's are treated nationwide. If I cannot convince even other NP's on this board how am I going to convince others. My approach which I believe...

  9. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well now that all three branches of government seem headed to a perhaps permanent left of center perspective I doubt that even Wyoming will prevent me from getting the vaccine if I want to earn money...

  10. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    This is also one of the good things about the NP route vs MD. My son really could do my job by 25. However, if he went the MD/psychiatrist route he would be lucky to be working by 30. Not to mention...

  11. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    The difference is when I go to CVS or Walgreens it is a tiny fraction of my income. With my job it IS my income. As someone who is 51 with 200 k in combined credit card and student loan debt (and no...

  12. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    Those "creature" comforts might be worth 30K to 50K so if the difference is 100K vs even 150k I say you've got a point. But once you are North of 200K you can easily "purchase" all of those "creature...

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

    To even have relevant discussions you would need good data on your revenues along with expenses. Also, I get it if you are in a clinic that is primarily Medicaid, but most places are a "mix" with...

  14. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    The clinic where I go for care (and take my son in Florida no less) is staffed only by NP's and PA's. They have a supervising MD who is seldom on site (I have never seen) and they see three patients...

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

    Also Battlefield 4 is amazing. I only play the Hardcore mode (which allows team kills) and then only Golmud Desert with my favorite multiplayer map being "Havocs Falling on Your Head." I like it...

  16. New nurse practitioner here Please help

    myoglobin replied to amc248's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would suggest finding a job or moving to a job market more conducive to your sanity. Granted I'm in mental health, but I never see more than 18-19 patients per day. I believe that you will find...

  17. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I no longer even work there so right now it's not even an issue (it will probably become one for me at some point in the next year). However, when people of unequal power (the big HCA dominated...

  18. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get your position that it might be reasonable to "force" vaccination. However, I disagree that it should not be considered force. If you start using "well you could choose to take the vaccine" then...

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wearing a mask was not an option. It was take the shot or find a different job. They had offered a mask as an option in the past, but transitioned to "shot only" in the last several

  20. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    One of the MD's I trained with during my six month "medical rotation" before entering the psych part of the program told me that if I would switch to FNP he could pretty much guarantee me 200k on a...

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

    Psych helps because of combo coding and less equipment expense. However, the basic principle still applies. If you have a group of FNP's billing even two 30min appointments per hour say four days per...

  22. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well I respect your feelings, but I disagree. Being compelled to do things or facing consequences like job loss is a form of force in my opinion. However, I respect your

  23. NP Hates from Physicians?

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

    My point is that "percentage based pay" is what NP's should be focused upon whether it is an IP or non IP state. If you are getting a fixed percentage of gross revenues then you are typically going to...

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

    The bottom line is that without regard to MD opinion NP autonomy continues to grow with Mass. joining the ranks most recently. It is always better to win than be

    Here is a better meta analysis that points to a small (but statistically significant) increase in GBS and influenza vaccine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25999283/. Here are a couple of...
