  1. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    I believe that your experience in students probably in part reflects the fact that students at places like Walden may be a bit older and more serious than say ones from the local state university. I...

  2. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe that such restrictions would likely emanate from the private sector in terms of employment opportunities or even the ability to patronize businesses. I am also concerned that in order to...

  3. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The Second Amendment concerns are relative to the new administration and the promises to take AR10's and AR15's (which I legally own) not to vaccination. However, my hope was that a state which...

  4. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is no religious exemption for RN's at the hospital where I used to work and even previous reactions to vaccines are very narrowly defined (you must show you have had a negative reaction to every...

  5. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The fact that you consider religion "made up" doesn't mean that it isn't constitutionally protected by our First Amendment. Indeed, it is one of the primary reasons that this nation was created. The...

  6. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    There was nothing onsite. I did not visit the campus even once (didn't go to my graduation) nor did my significant other who graduated four years before me at the same institution. Not that I believe...

  7. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    We had recorded head to toe exams and psychiatric interviews along with real time discussion groups Zoom meetings in addition to textbook and journal assignments. This was how The University of...

  8. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I fear that we are becoming more and more like China which uses a social credit system "sesame credit" to "encourage" what the government considers to be pro social behavior, but which has punishments...

  9. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, but my point was that a choice of "do this or lose your job" really isn't much of a choice. That is the same sort of choice that led many people (more women than men) to be sexually harassed or...

  10. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I suppose that it is "a choice", but considering that most of us rely upon our jobs to feed our families, pay our rent, and our health insurance, it is just shy of give up your religious faith or go...

  11. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, when I worked as an RN I was given no choice for the flu vaccine. Take the vaccine or not work. It is (we used to have an option to wear a mask during flu season but that was phased out). This...

  12. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I will concede that it appears that I was incorrect vis a vis influenza it does show significant mutation calling in to question regarding long term efficacy. Still, I will concede that point....

  13. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well here is one article that discusses many different strains https://medium.com/microbial-instincts/many-strains-of-covid-19-are-out-there-but-only-one-is-important-878b1ee1f829 . Although the...

  14. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    myoglobin replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do not plan on taking the vaccine (unless forced by my 1099 employer) and if I am forced may consider other employment. Heck if it comes to that I may live as a walking nomad in the wilderness. My...

  15. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would also point out that I doubt that in most cases you would find "very much" difference between the courses and texts utilized at say Johns Hopkins (their online program where I was accepted),...

  16. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just because someone works IP doesn’t mean that cannot ask for help. For example my wife has five years as a Psych NP and I will sometimes ask for input. Sometimes I have conversed with other...

  17. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    My point there is no current legal remedy as the schools that exist abide by the laws that exist. Any endeavor to change those rules will be years in the making. Also, the students attending those...

  18. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    OK, but the schools that exist are playing by the rules that exist. If you do not like them then lobby to change them (ie lobby to increase requirements). However, this is something that will happen...

  19. Op-ED: Practicing Medicine vs Practicing Advanced Nursing

    myoglobin replied to Tomascz's topic in Advanced Practice

    I doubt there have and would be optimal to have ongoing studies. However, I do see a reason to disparage one online school verses another. The school that I went to The University of Southern Indiana...

  20. Can't get covid at work

    myoglobin replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again, this is an "airborne" disease with transmission rates that probably exceed influenza and approach that of something like measles. Thus, any situation that will tend to bring you in to contact...

  21. Can't get covid at work

    myoglobin replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well even the Danish mask study showed that the masks did not prevent getting covid to a level of statistical significance (granted they did not look at M-95 masks, but then again do you wear M-95...

  22. Seeking a preceptor in Florida, orlando, leesburg, Clermont for internal medicine or LTC

    myoglobin replied to Badger Brooch's topic in Advanced Practice

    I precepted with Dr. Robinson in Dundee Florida and he was excellent. I felt like he was one of the most caring knowledgeable MD's that I have ever met. This was for the six month "medical" rotation...

  23. NP: WA, AZ, NC?

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

    My preference of those would be Washington. NC is not IP. Arizona is of course IP. Also Washington does not have income tax. Thus, if you move to a state with 5% income tax and you both earn say...

  24. HCA StaRN contract

    myoglobin replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    Well here is a link to one union that is challenging the contracts at their facility on the grounds they were not included in the union facility contract:...

  25. HCA StaRN contract

    myoglobin replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I do know nurses at my former hospital who obtained "thousands" based on the "legal threat" of suing our HCA (individual hospital) for forcing us to clock out for lunch, but not being able to...
