  1. How much do you owe in student loans?

    myoglobin replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I think that it is worthwhile to reemphasize that so long as you avoid private loans that payments are capped at 10% of income. Many people spend more than 10% of their income on a car payment. As...

  2. PMHNP Program Admission Tips

    myoglobin replied to flyingsky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don’t believe it matters more on the East Coast. I had on Psychiatrist in Florida educated at NYU tell me that he would prefer that I had graduated from a New York university. Several Manhattan...

  3. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    myoglobin replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Having a "no strike" clause if like a gun owner having a "no shoot" clause to defend his family. It it the "ultimate" weapon to discourage abuse. Without at least the credible threat of strikes...

  4. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    myoglobin replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Keep in mind that you will find little variation between one program and the next. That is because most are based upon national "consensus" guidelines. Thus, even if a school thought it would be a...

  5. Suspicion About Med Error

    myoglobin replied to Sharmilagrg00's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are you really going to bust someone's chops for a spelling error? There is a tenet in polite society call "conversational implicature" meaning that if we can figure out what someone means we don't...

  6. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    If you wanted to upgrade to a PS4 it should be a real bargain since the PS5 comes out this

  7. Suspicion About Med Error

    myoglobin replied to Sharmilagrg00's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, it is so hard to work as a "floor" nurse today with the overwhelming burden of covid, big corporations like HCA that seem to care more about profits than nurses, doctors, or patients that the...

  8. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    All I am saying is that you should evaluate individuals on a case by case basis and neither love nor hate them based upon who they voted for. For example it is probably that Scalia voted (or would...

  9. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think one of the more beneficial endeavors is to find worthwhile "thought lines" on both the right and the left. I am probably more "right of center" at least on economic issues (and some social...

  10. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    All of both of your perspectives have counter points: a. Rittenhouse claims to have acted in self defense and there is video tape evidence to support this perspective. b. Many European nations despite...

  11. Nearly impossible to find NP jobs

    myoglobin replied to mrsannRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I had no experience to speak of in dedicated psych. and than taking care of involuntary holds in the hospital as an RN for several years about six years ago and yet had many job offers as a new grad....

  12. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I don't think it is any more fair to paint one side (Trump voters) as white nationalist than it is to paint Biden voters as (Socialists/or anarchists). In most cases both the Biden and the Trump...

  13. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I see great people on both sides and merits in many positions of the left and the right. Thus, one call I may be working with someone injured in protests during a BLM protest (usually Seattle) and...

  14. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I would only assure you that the opinions on both sides are equally articulated and felt with equal passion. Even in my own household (for example my son shares your perspective, my wife is on the...

  15. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Yes, but I would argue that those on the other side suffer "equal psychic pain" at issues "they" consider to be equally horrifying. If the focus is only on the areas of contention then it leads to and...

  16. How will you optimize your personal mental health if "the other guy" wins the election?

    myoglobin replied to myoglobin's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I see something for each side to be happy (or at least less sad) about. If your are a Democrat: a. Looks like Biden carries Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan. He had razor thin margins of perhaps...

  17. Is doing therapy as a psych NP realistic?

    myoglobin replied to Kaelif2015's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    While getting more training post grad for therapy is optimal and indeed imperative if you aspire to do certain specific approaches such as EMDR, DBT. ERP and others much of the time therapists in my...

  18. Nearly impossible to find NP jobs

    myoglobin replied to mrsannRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't believe that it is that hard if you are willing to move. I still get anywhere from 10 to 30 job "solicitations" per week in various parts of the country (from placement firms) in states where...

  19. DNP: Mirroring the Path of DO?

    myoglobin replied to AF2BSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While it would be optimal to have more clinical courses most of the education that you seek is available from CEU, and other programs after graduation. Many of my clients come to me precisely because...

  20. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

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

    When I started my job "pre covid" in the Seattle area all of my clients were "cash" pay pending insurance. My cash fee was $275.00 for 90 min intakes and $150.00 for medical management 30min...

  21. What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    myoglobin replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the topic was about dating as opposed to marriage (after all I’ve been with my SO almost 30 years and we are not legally married). Also, my point was that people like and love others for very...

  22. How much do you owe in student loans?

    myoglobin replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Loans are less than optimal, but if 50K in student loans will increase your income by 50K per year that seems like a relatively straight forward mostly good deal. Especially, since they limit payments...

  23. Psych NPs Patient Schedules - Is this the norm?

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

  24. What's your opinion on nurses dating doctors?

    myoglobin replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I will grant you that "most relationships" start that way is probably a true statement. However, the fact that something is common in no way makes it superior or denigrates the alternative (liking...

  25. Why do psych NPs make more?

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

    I'm not sure that "seeing more patients" is true. I only see a max of two patient's per hour and take 90 minutes for intakes and make more than double what I would earn as an FNP in
